This is another problem which appeared after an
update of Squeeze on February 7 or 8.

Joule is a router. dnsmasq and resolvconf
have worked for months with no problem.
Now the machine doesn't recognize its local
name. Other names inside and outside the
LAN are still resolved. For example,
telnet://peter(a)172.23.5.1
and
telnet://peter(a)joule.yi.org
work but
telnet://peter(a)joule
and
telnet://peter(a)joule.invalid
fail.

telnet://peter(a)172.23.5.1 gets these lines in the syslog.
Feb 15 12:47:10 joule in.telnetd[2885]: connect from 172.23.5.2 (172.23.5.2)
Feb 15 12:47:10 joule telnetd[2885]: doit: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

This is the last message to the console at startup.
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,
using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

Also I wonder whether a problem with qpopper
derives from this name problem.

Results are the same with kernels 2.6.30-2-686
and 2.6.32-trunk-686.

/etc/hosts has the name of the machine.
Where is the domain name recorded?
Why does this problem appear now?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

I presume you are on joule and it has dnsmasq + resolvconf installed on
it.

can you
cat /etc/resolv.conf*

kill -SIGUSR1 $(pidof dnsmasq) ; tail -n 40 /var/log/syslog | grep
dnsmas | tail -n 4

and maybe cat dnsmasq.conf
