Hello, I'm preparing myself to give some talk for which I need some multimedia content. To not depend on Internet in the place of the conference, I installed in my netbook (FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT r314251, KDE 4.14, all ports compiled from head) a local apache and normally
konqueror http://localhost/ works as it should, until (and lucky I tested this) the interface wlan0 has no IP addr assigned. In this case konqueror says that it can not resolve 'localhost' (which of course is in /etc/hosts file and /etc/nsswitch.conf says 'hosts: files dns'). It is enough to set some dummy IP into the interface with: # ifconfig wlan0 1.1.1.1 and this makes konqueror happy resolving 'localhost'. I've watched this with truss: /etc/nsswitch.conf is checked, but /etc/hosts not. Firefox works in both cases, with and without IP addr in the interface. Any idea what's causing this bug? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045
