Corrupted entries in hosts file?
-
Twice now I've seen complaints in the log about hosts entries (sorry, I don't remember what the specific message was). When I looked at /var/etc/hosts on the gateway, I saw the problem. (hypothetical example here) If I was supposed to have:
10.0.0.98 tivo-fr.xxx.com10.0.0.222 Denise.xxx.com xxx# dynamic entry from dhcpd.leaseswhen it should be:
10.0.0.98 tivo-fr.xxx.com 10.0.0.222 Denise.xxx.com Denise # dynamic entry from dhcpd.leasesNot sure if this is being caused by dnsmasq or not? If so, the devs can't really do anything about it, I suspect. Just wanted to mention it.

I have the same problem. As of 2.0-BETA4 (amd64) built on Wed Oct 27 20:32:14 UTC 2010, this has not been fixed.
Any idea which file(s) I should look at?

No idea, sorry :(

Using your example:
10.0.0.98 tivo-fr.xxx.com 10.0.0.99 gertrude.xxx.com Gertrude 10.0.0.222 Denise.xxx.com Denise # dynamic entry from dhcpd.leasesmy /etc/hosts looks more like
10.0.0.98 tivo-fr.xxx.com 10.0.0.9910.0.0.222 Denise.xxx.com xxx# dynamic entry from dhcpd.leasesIt's actually clipping at the first \t (tab), and the last static entry (gertrude) isn't mapped.

Test newer snapshots.

Hello Ermal,
you mean newer than 20101027? I'll wait until I can test daily snapshots in a VM, I got properly spanked last Friday with the latest kernel issues :-)
Unless this has been fixed in the last few days, I'll have a proper look tomorrow. Any idea as to which scripts / files are involved with pushing the dynamic dhcp leases to /etc/hosts ? Any pointers would be appreciated!

Kernel issues regarding panics are solved.
As far as the scripts/programs involved you can check commits.
