Hi. Just a small update to make sure no-one else waste time investigating the Nagios failure in the Debian Edu Wheezy build. I reported the problem in <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/705900 >, and the cause is identified.
The problem is that Nagios report that it is unable to ping tjener.intern using ping6. The cause is that libnss-myhostname, which we install everywhere even if it is only useful on laptops, do not handle IPv6 addresses very well and return a non-working (as in incomplete) IPv6 address when check_ping and ping6 look up the address of tjener.intern (on tjener.intern). This causes ping6 to fail and Nagios to report an error. Possible fixes is to change libnss-myhostname to not return incomplete IPv6 addresses when looking up the current host name. Another is to only install the package on Roaming Workstation profiles. A third is to disable IPv6 (blacklist the ipv6 kernel module, I guess). I've asked the maintainer for a change in libnss-myhostname. If that do not work out, I suggest we change the package tasks to only install libnss-myhostname on Roaming workstations. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
