I have the svscan process up and running. 2454 ?? S 0:00.07 svscan /var/service And yet when I changed the /etc/resolv.conf so that the nameserver is 127.0.0.1 and not my ISP's one, I got "host lookup did not complete" from exim. Neither could I run lynx as it did not load its default page nor any other for that matter. I used the simplest possible host cache configuration so that the caching service is available only to the FBSD machine. I am trying to find out what went wrong. For the time being I have changed the resolv file back to the DNS server of my ISP. Any advice as to what to troubleshoot, which logs to inspect would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and warm regards from cold Poland. -- Zbigniew Szalbot
