Last Sunday I managed to auto-retrieve the file cnews.tar.Z by typing ``make'' in the /cdrom/ports dir. Now, while trying to build elm, this happened: >> elm2.4.tar.Z doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://dsinc.myxa.com/pub/elm/ dsinc.myxa.com: gethostbyname herror (2): Host name lookup failure >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/distfiles/ ftp.freebsd.org: gethostbyname herror (2): Host name lookup failure >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retreive this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles and try again. *** Error code 1 What did I do? I remember adding some lines to /etc/sysconfig and two new sites to /etc/resolv.conf. When I do a `ps ax' I see ncftp trying to retrieve the elm tar file... Ideas, net gurus??? gary kline
