and sshd doesn't, isn't libc's fault. apache doesn't use getnameinfo(). bind implements getnameinfo() itself. telnetd just logs an error if getnameinfo() fails and sets remote_host_name to the empty string. I'm not sure any of those are good parallels to sshd's use of libc: it merely uses a different subset of the IPv6 API. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
