• Strange error

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Thu Apr 28 23:35:42 2016
    Does anybody know what this error means?

    + 28 Apr 23:27:25 [1692] Error in getnameinfo(): Det beg„rda namnet „r giltigt och hittades i databasen, men det har inte korrekta associerade data f”r vad det matchas mot. (11004)

    Sorry for the Swedish, but maybe error 11004 will be more informative?

    A problem with reverse mapping.

    Hmmm... Does that mean that Nicholas Bo‰l has done something wrong with his AAAA record, or what?

    After all the connection was successful.

    Strange...

    Det beg„rda namnet
    „r giltigt och hittades i databasen, men det har inte korrekta
    associerade data f”r vad det matchas mot.

    "The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it
    does not have the correctly associated data for what it is matched
    against."

    Doing some research I came to the conclusion that error number 11004 is a Python error. Correct?

    Alas, as I said, I never have seen this strange error before. Maybe I have to reboot this specific XP box of mine for the first time in more than four years? 8-)

    It only tells, that the reverse resolution was not successful, which is
    quite common for IPv6 adresses.

    Thanks. Yes, that's about what my investigation led to too. Especially experimental ditto, I guess?

    A minor glitch more than a severe error?

    No, that's forward mapping :)

    ciao,

    Who writes such poor error messages nobody understands? It should be something like "Problem with DNS reverse mapping". BTW, my binkd logs just the IP address if there's no reverse mapping entry, but doesn't log an error.

    Doing some research I came to the conclusion that error number
    11004 is a Python error. Correct?

    No, it should be the return value of getnameinfo() and optionally the errno in case of EAI_SYSTEM.

    Markus

    You do not need to have a reverse name configured!
    That is not an error, it is just an info that reverse lookup failed, or delivered a different name.

    It takes the name, and looks up the IPv6 address.
    Then it tries to lookup what name is configured for the address.
    You do not need to make ANY reverse name entry.

    See below ... fido.ricsi.priv.at has different reverse lookups then the addresses for fido.ricsi.priv.at


    fido@odroid:~$ host fido.ricsi.priv.at
    fido.ricsi.priv.at has address 62.178.175.238
    fido.ricsi.priv.at has IPv6 address 2001:6f8:1298:0:c022:9ff:fef2:5fe8

    fido@odroid:~$ host 62.178.175.238
    238.175.178.62.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 62-178-175-238.cable.dynamic.surfer.at.

    fido@odroid:~$ host 2001:6f8:1298:0:c022:9ff:fef2:5fe8 8.e.f.5.2.f.e.f.f.f.9.0.2.2.0.c.0.0.0.0.8.9.2.1.8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer odroid.ricsi.priv.at.
