*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1752411 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752411
The relationship to LP #1752411 certainly feels valid. (I think I agree to the duplication) Check this out btw (perhaps better submitted to the other bug) -- but -- despite "host" claiming a default timeout of a few seconds, this NEVER returns!! {{{ $ LC_ALL=C host -t soa local. }}} $ man host {{{ -W wait Timeout: Wait for up to wait seconds for a reply. If wait is less than one, the wait interval is set to one second. By default, host will wait for 5 seconds for UDP responses and 10 seconds for TCP connections. These defaults can be overridden by the timeout option in /etc/resolv.conf. See also the -w option. }}} But I even tried to manually specify how long to wait, it isn't honoured {{{ $ time LC_ALL=C host -W 1 -t soa local. <<HUNG>> }}} -- we're talking about THIS method btw /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh {{{ dns_has_local() { # Some magic to do tests if [ -n "${FAKE_HOST_RETURN}" ] ; then if [ "${FAKE_HOST_RETURN}" = "true" ]; then return 0; else return 1; fi fi OUT=`LC_ALL=C host -t soa local. 2>&1` <<<---- HERE if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then if echo "$OUT" | egrep -vq 'has no|not found'; then return 0 fi else # Checking the dns servers failed. Assuming no .local unicast dns, but # remove the nameserver cache so we recheck the next time we're triggered rm -f ${NS_CACHE} fi return 1 } }}} --- Steps to reproduce: 1. fresh boot 2. run "host -t soa local." (works fine) {{{ $ LC_ALL=C host -t soa local. Host local. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) }}} 2. connect to strongswan vpn 3. disconnect the session 4. , now that command hangs forever {{{ $ time LC_ALL=C host -t soa local. <HUNG> }}} (tried timing it ...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786261 Title: strongswan ipsec fails to finish connection (hangs after installing DNS server via resolvconf) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/strongswan/+bug/1786261/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
