Bug#327220: ike-scan: reports usage to upstream

At least it should be strictly opt-in. After talking with upstream the offending line will be removed from the next upload. quoting from is mail the offending lines are : The code concerned in ike-scan.c is: if (!no_dns_flag) hp = gethostbyname(ike-scan-target.test.nta-monitor.com); In the future the upstream agreed to put a switch in configure to give to the user the choice of desactivating this dns query. In the mean time you can avoid those dns query with the -N switch, beware that with this switch all dns request will be disabled. Cheers -- Benoit Mortier CEO www.opensides.be
