[systemd-devel] getaddrinfo() API with systemd

[Nanda Kumar]

Hi,

I am facing problem while querying DNS using getaddrinfo() API under a
process initiated by systemd. Despite having nameserver entry in
/etc/resolv.conf, the query fails to resolve. After few system call traces,
it is found that the problem is due to systemd resolution. It seems like,
for a process inited by systemd, the getaddrinfo() DNS query routed via
systemd while in stand alone mode (i.e. spawned by shell), the query
happens normally. I changed the /etc/systemd/resolved.conf to add my DNS
address and restarted systemd-resolved. Now the DNS query works properly.

Is there anyway to bypass systemd for getaddrinfo() [ex: passing extra
flags to hints], and get the work done in usual way?


In my case /etc/resolv.conf is softlink to runtime resolved.conf of
systemd. Will unlinking and keeping the /etc/resolv.conf independent will
solve the solution?


Regards,

Nandakumar
