--- Comment #2 from amaguire <alan.maguire at sun.com> 2009-06-25 01:36:22 --- I've reproduced this, and I'm seeing the same problem as you. The crux of the issue seems to be name resolution, as I see autofs log messages saying "automountd: server localhost not responding", and "automountd: self_check: unknown host: localhost" daemon.debug messages, which show the reason localhost isn't loopback mounting is name resolution. I also see the same things you are - "getent hosts localhost" works, but pinging it fails with "unknown host". Interestingly, "telnet localhost 7" (with echo:stream enabled) succeeds in resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1 and connecting, so I'm going to try and determine how telnet's name resolution differs from that used by ping and friends. This may point us at the real source of the problem. What I find weird is I can't see how anything location application does could cause these problems. I'll keep digging though. -- Configure bugmail: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
