Hi,
I need a review for:
http://git.cryptomilk.org/projects/nss_wrapper.git/commit/?h=fix
The idea was to take a shortcut if we have localhost address, any address or
broadcast. It turned out that this causes a bug with 'getent ahosts
<myhostname> if you have the libnss_myhostname.so module loaded. It returned
127.0.0.2 instead of the entry in your hosts file.
So we need to remove that code.
FYI: libnss_myhostname() does a connect to 127.0.0.2 and ::1 and calls
getsockname() afterwards.
Thanks,
