Problem with getdomainname() in SocketConnection::listen()

[marlam]

Hi,

the call to getdomainname() in SocketConnection::listen() returns the NIS/YP domain name, and not the DNS domain name.

From 'man 2 getdomainname': " On most Linux architectures (including x86), there is no getdomainname() system call; instead, glibc implements getdomainname() as a library function that returns a copy of the domainname field returned from a call to uname(2). "
From 'man 2 uname': "char domainname[]; /* NIS or YP domain name */"

This prevents Equalizer from working in our computer pools since we also use NIS there, and the NIS domain name is different from the DNS domain name.

This applies to 1.2.1; I have not yet tested the current version due to missing dependencies on Ubuntu 10.04 (the system used in our pools).

However, for 1.2.1, simply removing the getdomainname() part solves the problem, and I assume the same applies to the current version.

Confirmed, I stumbled over this the other day as well. Will you need a 1.2.2, or is a fix in 1.4 sufficient?

A fix in 1.4 is sufficient. Thank you!
