Current d-i writes the following line to the beginning of /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Traditionally, this confuses some programs; at least pvm used to have problems with this, and I'm fairly sure cfengine2 doesn't like it either, so we've changed to 127.0.0.1 <machinename>.<our domain> <machinename> localhost However, now we've suddenly discovered that _other_ programs get confused by this! In particular, if you use an NFSv4-patched mount, it does a gethostname() and resolves that, which returns 127.0.0.1, which in turn makes it happily use that as a client identifier to the remote server. (This breaks when two or more such clients connect, obviously.) So, one program has to be buggy here, but which? :-) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
