Description Orion Poplawski 2011-04-25 15:19:27 UTC

Description of problem:

I have a DSL router that fails to respond to AAAA records properly:

  3.853196 192.168.100.67 -> 192.168.100.1 DNS Standard query A pkgs.fedoraproject.org
  3.853344 192.168.100.67 -> 192.168.100.1 DNS Standard query AAAA pkgs.fedoraproject.org
  3.897350 192.168.100.1 -> 192.168.100.67 DNS Standard query response A 209.132.181.4
  3.903481 192.168.100.1 -> 192.168.100.67 DNS Standard query response

This results in:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname pkgs.fedoraproject.org: Name or service not known

This is the case even with ipv6 completely disabled.  Work around is to run "ssh -4 hostname".  Other programs like firefox and thunderbird work with ipv6 disabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssh-5.6p1-30.fc15.i686

I see this has been fixed in rawhide, will we see it fixed in F15 soon?  Thanks!

Comment 3 Jan F. Chadima 2011-04-28 05:52:20 UTC

please test it and report. I do not put it into f15 before positive feedback.
If you have no way how to test it in rawhide I prepare testing package for you.
