:Another issue that you might want to look into before the release.

:When running on the snapshot from yesterday,
:(1.13.0-DEVELOPMENT #0: Sun Jul 13 00:54:52 CEST 2008)
:
:when a host cannot resolve, we get this error
:
: # mount 10.0.0.10:/home /mnt
: nfs: bad net address 10.0.0.10
:
:If the host in DNS or /etc/hosts on the client, it mounts fine by either
:IP address or host name. It only occurs if it cannot resolve.
:
:I found a posting, that sounds related, from back in February that said,
:
: :mount -t nfs 6pack:/ /mnt
: :
: :will fail and issue a warning about bad net address 6pack. There is a
: :patch below which might be helpful for fixing this.
:
:and apparently Matt committed a patch.
:
:The problem does not exist on my 1.10.1-RELEASE machine. However, it
:appears that it or a similar bug has been re-introduced.
Yup, it's definitely still broken. I'm not sure why I was even
doing the gethostbyaddr() call.
I'll change it to use inet_pton().
