Bug#506764: siproxd: Problem with DNS resolution when in chroot jail

[Frédéric Boiteux]

Package: siproxd
Version: 1:0.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


  I've backported the latest siproxd (from experimental) on a Debian 
Etch. It didn't work at first, and activating debug traces, I've found 
that when using this proxy in a chroot jail (default configuration), the 
DNS resolution isn't working :

siproxd[10444]: utils.c:193 gethostbyname(ekiga.net) failed: h_errno=1 [Unknown host]

I've found a similar report on the web :
http://osdir.com/ml/network.siproxd/2005-10/msg00004.html

and I've implemented the trivial solution suggested, as the resolution 
of 'localhost' don't seem sufficient (see attached patch), and it works 
fine now.

	Fred.
