RHBA-2012:0555 - net-tools bug fix update
Synopsis
net-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated net-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The net-tools packages contain basic networking tools. including hostname, ifconfig, netstat, or route.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Running the "hostname" command with the "-A, --all-fqdns" or "-I, --all-ip-addresses" option to display all Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) or network addresses of the host failed with the "Hostname lookup failure" error if the machine's host name was not resolved in DNS. With this update, these options are no longer dependent on name resolution; all FQDNs and network addresses of the host are now displayed as expected even if the host name cannot be resolved or is not included in the /etc/hosts file. (BZ#816375)
All users of net-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
