http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13510 Summary: resolv.conf.5 implies that only IPv4 addresses are allowed Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: danw@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No resolv.conf.5 says: nameserver Name server IP address Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the resolver should query. Only IPv4 addresses have a "dot notation", so this suggests that IPv6 addresses aren't allowed. But they are. Given that the "sortlist" field is IPv4-only, it's probably best to actually be explicit that nameserver supports either. So: nameserver Name server IP address IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of a name server that the resolver should query. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
