"Warning: hostname localhost does not resolve to address ::1: No address associated with hostname" inside an openVZ/Debian container
- by frlan
I'm getting the mesage regulary inside mail.log from postfix. In special, but not only, at mails send received mailman.
warning: hostname localhost does not resolve to address ::1: No
address associated with hostname
::1 as well as 127.0.0.1 are defined as localhost inside /etc/hosts -- as provided by openVZ.
Actually inside /etc/hosts these is configured (I removed special domains and IP for reasons):
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
2a01::<some IPv6> host.example.org host example.org
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx host.example.org host example.org
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
And this seems to work:
$ host localhost
localhost has address 127.0.0.1
localhost has IPv6 address ::1
On this box bley is also running.
