getaddrinfo support for libc was added as part of IPv6 patch in HPUX 11i. But the situation may arise that libc patch with getaddrinfo support is installed but other IPv6 related patches are not installed. In this case both the libnss_dns patch and libnss_files patch with getaddrinfo support should be installed. Otherwise getaddrinfo may appear to be broken. This is because libc uses libnss_dns and libnss_files for name resolution using dns and files respectively.
libc patch with IPv6 support - PHCO_24400 libc headerfile patch with IPv6 support - PHCO_24402 libnss_files patch with IPv6 support - PHCO_24401 libnss_dns patch with IPv6 support - PHNE_24129
All these patches or their superseding patches should be installed for
getaddrinfo to work on 11i.
This box has PHC0_24402 installed but none of the others.
/usr/lib/libc.a definitely has a getaddrinfo().
I have the feeling that PHC0_24402 got installed because some other libc fix (perhaps needed by java) needed it. Do you know of a way to find what patches require PHC0_24402, and also to find which files are modified by PHC0_24402?
Thanks,
Jeff
