You definitely still want to replace gethostbyname with getaddrinfo, because gethostbyname can't handle IPv6 addresses. But that's not relevant to this particular problem (noticing resolv.conf updates) because both functions use the same internal glibc methods, they just package the results differently. -- Dan -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
