Hello all :) While trying to bind to 0.0.0.0 having lo0, eth0 and ippp0 up no matter whether on- or offline, i get this: sshd[4518]: error: getnameinfo failed sshd[4518]: fatal: Cannot bind any address. It seems sshd tries to get reverse-resolved the ippp0's address. Is there a configuraiotn fault on my behalf? Did i misunderstand the way sshd works? Shouldn't sshd rather not rely on what nameserver say? I wonder why asks for an ns query at all.. I'd have expected sshd to bind to any ifaces, whatever ip belongs to the resp. ifaces.. :) (at least with ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 in /etc/sshd_config) Another Q regarding the --with-ipaddr-display flag to configure, this doesn't work for me even the patch applied that came through on this list. Some postings ago i saw a configuration keyword like host and so on, where are these keywords documented? sincerely, Nils Nils Radtke * de.AIESEC.org * Student @ the * nils.radtke@ * * Nat.
