That is completely bogus... using SetHostName certainly does not change your IP, in fact because Avahi drops its privileges, it couldn't do this even if it wanted to.
The only thing here is that it simply says "From foobar.local" - which is just a result of using libnss-mdns to lookup the reverse DNS of the host (which you now changed to foobar.local). This shows up because that host is not reachable so it shows the unreachable messages which come from the local host.. which now has that mDNS reverse-dns. Note that nsswitch.conf refers to DNS first (before mdns) so if you have a local authorative DNS with reverse dns it would be preferred over mDNS. -- SetHostName can be called by users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
