Description of problem: I am not so sure if this the right spot to complain about but the problem easily can be demonstrated with ipcalc. On two installations of FC2T3, one i386 and one x86_64, both have hosts: files dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf and 'order hosts,bind' in /etc/host.conf and a line like this 192.168.23.196 dyna4.home.front dyna4 in /etc/hosts. On i386 installation one gets: $ ipcalc -h 192.168.23.196 HOSTNAME=dyna4.home.front but for x86_64 the same action results in $ ipcalc -h 192.168.23.196 ipcalc: cannot find hostname for 192.168.23.196: Unknown host and similar for any other entry listed in /etc/hosts. Checking with 'strace -e open ...' on i386 one can observe: # strace -e open ipcalc -h 192.168.23.196 open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/popt", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/root/.popt", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 3 HOSTNAME=dyna4.home.front but on x86_64 the same action results in # strace -e open ipcalc -h 192.168.23.196 open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib64/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/popt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/root/.popt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib64/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib64/libnss_dns.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib64/libresolv.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 ipcalc: cannot find hostname for 192.168.23.196: Unknown host It looks like that /etc/hosts is opened but its content discarded. As a side-effect x86_64 machines with dynamically asigned IP addresses end up with 'localhost.localdomain' for names.
