Hi My debian box (woody) resolves all non-existent hostnames to the local host. I find this to be strange behaviour and it should not happen.
Please help me correct this issue. for example, for some non-existent host named asdasdlkajd $ host asdasdlkajd Host asdasdlkajd not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) as you can see, it says there is no asdasdlkajd (dig says the same), but when i ping it: $ ping -c 1 asdasdlkajd PING minerva0.redcetus.com (200.87.125.196): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 200.87.125.196: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms --- minerva0.redcetus.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.0/0.0/0.0 ms How could this be happening? These are some of my files $ cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 200.87.125.196 minerva minerva.redcetus.com # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts # (added automatically by netbase upgrade) ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts $ cat /etc/host.conf order hosts,bind multi on spoofalert on Some package versions: ii net-tools 1.60-4 ii libc6 2.2.5-11.5 ii bind9 9.2.1-2.woody ii ifupdown 0.6.4-4 ii netkit-ping 0.10-9 Thanks in advance please reply to this address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Marcelo Morales <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Red Cetus S.R.L.------------------------------------------------------------------
