Hi,
When I do "telnet localhost" in debian, I get:
telnet: could not resolve localhost/telnet: Temporary failure in name
resolution
My /etc/hosts contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost
My nsswitch.conf contains:
hosts: files dns
My resolv.conf:
search mimar.dyndns.org
nameserver 192.168.5.1
I straced telnet, and it contacts my nameserver, looks for an AAAA record
(I only have A-records), and then it decides that there is a temporary
failure.
Doing "telnet localhost." makes it work, but then it still doesn't work
for other hosts in my domain. On the nameserver (which runs on old Suse) it
works ok. It worked when I first installed potato. It went wrong when I
upgraded to somewhere in Woody.
Since my /etc/hosts also contains a ip6-localhost, I tried telnetting
there. Then it asks my nameserver for a A-record. I find it weird.
Well, if anyone can help, I'd love to hear it.
Greetings,
Chris Niekel
