Description Halton Huo 2009-12-08 08:35:12 UTC 
This bug is actually reported on OpenSolaris bug database, http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13142

After investigation, this bug happens on system those install VirtualBox either OpenSolaris or Linux. It returns vboxnet0 IP address rather than the exact one.

$ifconfig -a

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

ignore vboxnet interfaces

Use this attached patch will fix the issue. But I think there is still problem when system has multiple interfaces.

So I think the way to get_local_hostname is incorrect somehow. Use gethostname()?

I need to review the network reachability reporting code before applying patches (see bug 596190), and this will happen for 3.2.
