2010-09-03inet: support retrieving MAC address on BSDMichael Santos
On systems supporting getaddrinfo(), support looking up the MAC address from inet:ifget/2. The results have the same quirks as with Linux: if the MAC address is longer than 6 bytes (e.g., fw0 under Mac OS X), the address is truncated; if the interface does not have a MAC address (e.g., lo0), an address consisting of 0's is returned.
2010-07-26inet: fix getservbyname buffer overflowMichael Santos
The byte holding the length of the interface name for the getservbyname/2 function is used in a signed context and can become negative, causing the buffer to be overrun. Make the same change for getservbyport/2. Test case: inet:getservbyname(list_to_atom(lists:flatten(lists:duplicate(128, "x"))), tcp).
2010-07-26inet: fix ifr_name buffer overflowMichael Santos
The byte holding the length of the interface name for the ifget/2 functions is used in a signed context and can become negative, causing the ifreq.ifr_name buffer to be overrun. Test case: inet:ifget(lists:duplicate(128, "x"), [addr]).

* rani/inet_gethostbyname_fixes: inet_res_SUITE: testcase fixes for legacy DNS resolver (Solaris 8) inet_res: /etc/resolv.conf: use domain as default search list inet: delayed/avoided read of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts inet_gethost_native: workaround for empty result hostname on MacOS X inet_res_SUITE: testcase fix for empty domain name inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostname OTP-8426 The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name as hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously configured, bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed. The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver is used. The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do not read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since the native resolver is default, in most cases they are never needed. The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as default search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.
2010-02-09inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostnameRaimo Niskanen
Now inet:gethostbyname tries to parse the hostname as an IP string first if the 'native' lookup method is not used. One can also make the IP string parsing explicit using the new 'string' lookup method, or avoid it using the new pseudo lookup method 'nostring'. In R13B04 a bug was introduced when the gethostbyname code was rewritten, so if the native resolver was used and misconfigured to not be able to look up the own hostname, inet:gethostbyname also failed. This is now fixed.
