Paul Dekker once stated: =make sure /etc/host.conf contains 'bind' on a line by itself. The file might look like: There is. =nslookup uses the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. other applications use resources listed in /etc/host.conf. if bind isn't in there they won't use the nameserver(s). Besides, fetch has no problem with ftp URL(s). Other apps resolve fine too: rfinger, ssh... -mi =Hope this helps. Nope :( -mi =Mikhail Teterin (mi@kot.ne.mediaone.net) writes: => Hi! => => The FETCH_CMD on my system is set to be => => runsocks fetch -p => => to work through the firewall, etc. This works just fine for ftp URLs, => but all of the http ones fail, claiming the host-name is unresolvable. => => mi@rtfm:~ (1100) runsocks fetch -p http://www.yahoo.com/index.html => fetch: `www.yahoo.com': cannot resolve: Host name lookup failure => mi@rtfm:~ (1101) runsocks fetch http://www.yahoo.com/index.html => fetch: `www.yahoo.com': cannot resolve: Host name lookup failure => => The socks5 daemon runs on 2.2.8-stable.
