Earlier I reported hangs WRT xterm/rlogin and I now have that mystery solved. It seems that since 4.2-RELEASE the resolver behavior has changed for certain system components. I run a name server on this particular host. The first clue was that when I did a netstat -a, it hung on certain interface addresses. The nslookup and dig commands all resolve these addresses just fine, however. THE PROBLEM IS THAT netstat and login/rlogin insist that these reverse lookups occur in the /etc/hosts file. Once I register all the addresses there, the 2-minute hangs go away. Under the 4.2-RELEASE, these were resolving from my nameserver just fine. Is there a configuration change that I am unaware of? It sure is a pain to maintain host numbers in both the name server and the /etc/hosts file. Thanks, Warren. Addendums: I run a primary name server on my host. The /etc/resolv.conf thus looks like this: domain mydomain.org nameserver 127.0.0.1 My /etc/host.conf is: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # First try the /etc/hosts file hosts # Now try the nameserver next. bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis Commenting out the hosts line did not seem to help. -- Warren W.
