https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70771 Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de&gt; changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assignee|syncevolution-issues@syncev |patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de |olution.org | --- Comment #1 from Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de&gt; --- The root cause is gethostbyname() in the following libsynthesis code: src/platform_adapters/linux/configfiles.cpp bool getLocalDeviceID(string &aURI) ... if (gethostname(szHostname, sizeof(szHostname))!=0) { hostName="_unknown_"; } else { // get host entry pHostEnt = gethostbyname(szHostname); // return fully qualified name of machine as ID if (pHostEnt) hostName=pHostEnt->h_name; // DNS name of machine else hostName=szHostname; // just name of machine } ... I suppose the code above tries to resolve the canonical host name. I am not sure whether that is really useful, so perhaps the call can simply be removed without any ill effects. It certainly doesn't matter for PBAP syncing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
