Of course this could already be what it does, as I haven't checked the code. I did mention to Leopold that I don't feel there is a bug in udev (although the information added to README.Debian is possibly wrong).
As I see it, there are two separate bugs in my issue. 1) nss_ldap does a host lookup even if you use IP addresses in the server address. 2) nss_wins fails badly in the absence of networking. No 2 is the killer when using udev, wins and ldap. -- David Pashley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
