This problem seems to be common across all BSDs that i have used, not just freebsd. Anyhow, thats my 2 cents. -- Matt Watson On Fri, 4 May 2001, Andrew Barros wrote: > It is. > > > [abarros <@> cronos.tjhsst.edu 9:59] > > [103] #nslookup > Default Server: ns1.tjhsst.edu > Address: 198.38.16.40 > > > localhost.tjhsst.edu > Server: ns1.tjhsst.edu > Address: 198.38.16.40 > > Name: localhost.tjhsst.edu > Address: 127.0.0.1 > > > 127.0.0.1 > Server: ns1.tjhsst.edu > Address: 198.38.16.40 > > Name: localhost.tjhsst.edu > Address: 127.0.0.1 > > -ajb > > -- > Andrew Barros > PGP Key Fingerprint: > D3B8 0800 C45A 143E 5CF0 E112 0A1B AB36 B655 1FB8 > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
