-4/-6 options could be added to hostname later, but I think hostname should rely on the resolver configuration for its default behavior anyway, so this patch would be a good starting point in any case. I'm running hostname with this patch applied for some time, and haven't had any problem so far. I abandoned the inet6 option some time ago, however, since many programs are broken, assuming gethostbyname would return IPv4 addresses only, and I got tired at some point. -- Jeremie Koenig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
