             Bug #: 14413
           Summary: nsswitch doesn't implement getaddrinfo(), plugins
                    cannot supply link-local IPv6 addresses with scope id
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.17
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: network
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: psimerda@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


GLIBC's name service switch doesn't provide a way to override getaddressinfo()
which is the only function that supports IPv6 link-local addresses.

IPv6 link-local addresses don't work without the interface name (when
written as text) that then translates to scope id.
