> I am not quite sure what you mean about the Destination host
unreachable thing.. can you clarify a little further?
it is just what i get back from doing:
~$ python -c "import dbus; bus=dbus.SystemBus();
proxy=bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Avahi','/'); proxy.SetHostName('foobar')"
~$ ping 192.168.0.42
PING 192.168.0.42 (192.168.0.42) 56(84) bytes of data.
>From foobar.local (192.168.0.1) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
>From foobar.local (192.168.0.1) icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
~$
there are some problems on reproducing that; it seems that the box i am
now working on does not show that behavior (i currently lack access to
the machine i originally tried this on). it is probably connected to the
reverse dns resolution progress, which for reasons unknown to me seems
to have been configured to resolve via mdns instead of not resolving at
all.
avahi is probably not the culprit. if i or someone else manages to
reproduce this and can take a deeper look into ip->name resolution and
why avahi is used there, this bug probably should be moved to the proper
package.
