I certainly don't want DNS resolution inside the kernel, and outside the kernel, libc is as "base OS" as "base OS" comes, imo.

- Spivak 5y agoThe Linux kernel can actually resolve names but it farms out the actual work to userspace using the request-key(8) machinery. I personally it should be renamed because it's just a generic way for the kernel to ask for data from userspace, not just keys but still.
