Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-12-22 04:49:36 MSK
alterator-net-eth-3.1-alt5.M41.2

How to reproduce: I booted the 4.1 Desktop LiveCD on two computers, connected them by Ethernet; in alterator, I selected Zeroconf, and entered 2 different hostnames ("vaio.home", "dell.home"), applied.

Result: the other computer is not known to the second one by its given hostname (i.e., it can't be resolved, e.g., "ping vaio.home" or "resolve vaio.home" fails on dell.home).

Expected result: they see each other by these names.

Either it's a missing feature in the zeroconf subsystem or it's just a consequence of the bug in etcnet https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18289 .

если alterator-net-eth правильно настроил конфиг. файл для etcnet, то он тут ес-но не причём.

I should have rtfmed better: the domain name for zeroconf is .local. So, probably, they should see each other as "vaio.local" and "dell.local".

In order for this to work, nss-mdns should be set up. (So, before testing this on LiveCDs, https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18318 should be satisfied.)

В 4.1/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
