I am using the getnameinfo function to convert an IPv6 IP address to its name. This works properly if the host info is in DNS. However, if its in the /etc/hosts file and not DNS then all getnameinfo returns is the IP address. If i call it with an IPv4 IP address then it looks up the host name in /etc/hosts. I have tried various host entries: fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5 mbook6 fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5%rl0 mbook6 fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5%rl0 mbook6.local Is there a way to get getname info to obtain host names from the /etc/ hosts file. The nsswitch.conf file has files dns
