Description of problem: rsync uses getaddrinfo to determine the ip of the remote host name. if /etc/nsswitch.conf contains the line hosts: files nisplus dns then rsync will fail in getaddrinfo(). other programs (host, ping) succeed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.4-4 How reproducible: always, but a test program does not manage to reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sed -i 's/^hosts.*/hosts: files nisplus dns' /etc/nsswitch.conf 2. rsync distro.ibiblio.org:: Actual results: rsync complains Expected results: rsync lists hosts Additional info: some debugging showed that the hosts line is mis-parsed, but I'm not sure. strace -e trace=open shows that the dns module is never loaded. the problem occurs on i386 and x86_64.
