Description Max Lorenz 2006-02-21 04:05:30 UTC

Hi,
after update to glibc-2.3.6-r3 I get something like "'mdns off' bad command"(can't remeber exactly) at boot. The ebuild tells that mdns isn't provided with glibc anymore, so /etc/host.conf should be changed accordingly.
Thanks.

Comment 1 Jonathan Heaney 2006-02-21 05:12:24 UTC

I'm seeing this here too.  I trust the fix is simply to comment out 'mdns off' in /etc/host.conf?

(In reply to comment #1)

Yes, at least that works for me.

Comment 3 Iain Buchanan 2006-02-21 15:12:03 UTC

The exact error (for me) is:

etc/host.conf: line 24: bad command `mdns off'

And yes, commenting it out fixed the error, but I agree a new host.conf should be provided so when it hits x86 we don't have lots of scratching heads!!
