As described at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/compat/linux/linux_socket.c there was a problem with the Linux compatibility code that could cause name-resolution to fail. It only showed up with linux_base-7, and it has been fixed. If you're using linux_base-7 with FreeBSD-CURRENT from October 26 or earlier, or with FreeBSD-STABLE from November 7 or earlier, the most obvious ways to avoid the problem are to either replace linux_base-7 with linux_base-62 or to update to a recent version of FreeBSD. -- Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
