I have Armbian on my orangepizero, i have avahi daemon set up and installed libnss-mdns
I configured my nsswitch.conf
Code:
ugjka@orangepizero:~$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

When i ping other devices in my network that also have avahi set up i get the following errror:
Code:
ugjka@orangepizero:~$ ping archee.local
ping: archee.local: System error
Same thing but with strace:
https://paste.ugjka.net/raw/xaxu
In the strace output you can see that it find the ip adress of archee.local
Code:
read(5, "+ 4 0 archee.local 192.168.1.8\n", 4096) = 31
But then it somehow fails to ping that ip adress
When i ping that ip address it works
Code:
ugjka@orangepizero:~$ ping 192.168.1.8

when i use
ssh archee.local it resolves the ip address and ssh's in. So it finds the host.
But why doesn't ping work? I'm lost here
The same problems repeats when i try to ping other avahi enabled devices in my network
ARMBIAN: ping to mdns host "System error"
