I'm very late on this report, but I've been trying to get it fixed to no avail. I have
two boxes, one
running 9.0, the other 9.1RC2. Both get an IP address allocated via DHCP and both are
on the
same network. However, for the 9.1 box it cannot seem to resolve hostnames correctly,
forcing
you to specify IP addresses in your applications. (Resolving doesn't seem to be
working
correctly) In both the machines, /etc/resolv.conf looks as follows. (Automagically
configured
from DHCP)
/etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 10.1.1.16
nameserver 10.1.1.10
search af.didata.local
Now on the 9.0 box I do a ping (ping terminal.af.didata.local) to a Windows terminal
server and
it works correctly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ ping terminal.af.didata.local
PING terminal.af.didata.local (10.1.0.240) from 10.1.35.66 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from terminal.af.didata.local (10.1.0.240): icmp_seq=1 ttl=125 time=0.360 ms
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$
>From the 9.1 box I get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ ping terminal.af.didata.local
ping: unknown host terminal.af.didata.local
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$
Ok, but networking is up and running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ ping 10.1.0.240
PING terminal.af.didata.local (10.1.0.240) from 10.1.35.66 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.0.240: icmp_seq=1 ttl=125 time=0.374 ms
...

In other news, doing a "ping terminal" on the 9.0 box works, on the 9.1 box not.
However, doing
a nslookup on "terminal" on both boxes results in the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$ nslookup terminal
...
Name: terminal.af.didata.local
Address: 10.1.0.240
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jaco]$
Which means that at least that part works. I'm stumped. Any ssh, telnet, rdesktop,
etc. to any
hostname (with or without the af.didata.local domain) doesn't work. Doing an nslookup
and
using that IP to connect to, does. The 9.1 machine was upgraded from a working 9.0 box
to
9.1RC1 which broke the addresseing. RC2 has not addressed this problem.
In addition in 9.1 /etc/hosts still does not contain "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
localhost",
instead only "127.0.0.1 localhost" which breaks some applications. (eg. Eclipse
debugger, not
part of main but in full use here) On new bootups the DHCP configuration seems to
change it
back to "localhost" again, forcing you to make the change manually to get your
applications to
work.
