Description peter.stamfest 2000-10-06 18:23:48 UTC

ftpd from wu-ftpd makes DNS requests to resolve the source ip-address even
though it shouldn't.

Thsi happens even though the ip address under question is in /etc/hosts:

	127.0.0.1       localhost

and nsswitch.conf contains:

	hosts:      files 

/etc/resolv.conf contains entries for name servers (I would like to have
"hosts: files dns" in nsswitch.conf, actually).

So DNS is configured not to be used...
The rest is completey standard RH7.0


But maybe this is a "feature"?! (Though I would call it a bug.)

Looking into it...

Comment 2 WU-FTPD Development Group 2001-03-12 22:01:23 UTC

Specifically tested.  /etc/hosts is followed correctly.  The only possible 
cause I can come up with is a library mismatch.

Non-duplicatable, close this ticket.
