Bug 46452

Informational

GemStone/S 64 Bit

3.3.1, 3.3

3.3.3

hostname resolution on Ubuntu

An Ubuntu default install creates entries in /etc/hosts of
  127.0.0.1 localhost
  127.0.1.1 <hostname>

Listening in "any interface" or on 127.0.0.1 does not pickup connects to 127.0.1.1, which results in hostname resolution failures.

Workaround

As of v3.3.3, GemStone will also listen on whatever IP4 address that the hostname resolves to, if that IP4 address is not 127.0.0.1.

Removing the entry in /etc/hosts for 127.0.1.1 has been shown to work around the problem.
