Bug #: 14413
Summary: nsswitch doesn't implement getaddrinfo(), plugins
cannot supply link-local IPv6 addresses with scope id
Product: glibc
Version: 2.17
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: network
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: psimerda@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
GLIBC's name service switch doesn't provide a way to override getaddressinfo()
which is the only function that supports IPv6 link-local addresses.
IPv6 link-local addresses don't work without the interface name (when
written as text) that then translates to scope id.
