Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! I've read that many people have suffered from various problems in the last few days with 4.2-STABLE. I had trouble with ftpd and Apache, someone reported about telnet timeouts, then there was ssh, xterm. I guess all these have one common factor: name resolution. I had major difficulties with -STABLE from last Monday, downgrading to 4.2-20010220-STABLE helped for me alot! And now the question: has anyone located the problem? I saw some changes for the resolver related files so this seems like a good candidate. Please note that my DNS works both way, i.e. name-to-address and address-to-name have been working for ages (ofcourse I verified this also in the faulty environment). Adding the client's hostname into /etc/hosts helped me e.g. with ftpd but I don't want to add all hosts in our network to every /etc/hosts. All ideas all welcome!
