gethostbyname() and resolv.conf updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

xchat in Fedora needs to be restarted after switching to a different
nameserver or it fails to resolve.

The xchat developers say that all xchat does is call gethostbyname(). A
Debian user told me that Debian carries a glibc patch to make processes
notice resolv.conf updates and reload it.

Is there any chance we could apply the same patch in Fedora too? I don't
know all the details, but I guess there might be a good reason why this
patch wasn't upstreamed yet.
