[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from [email protected] --- w does only lookup the IP if there is only one A/AAAA record. if there are multiple records (this means A and A or AAAA and AAAA but also A and AAAA), the lookup is bypassed. You may further call this an IPv6 unawareness of some kind, if there is exactly one IPv4 and one IPv6 entry. The cause of this is the usage of utmpx. Which means there is only a hostname in the database, no ip address. You are stranded if you do not have access to the underlying protocol family or have multiple A/AAAA-Records. The user MAY be connected via a totally different IP/Machine instead the IP displayed. So the current strategy is: instead you display wrong data, you display the original data unresolved. In fact I believe this is exactly the point why other implementations are missing this parameter. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
