It should be available from snapshot.debian.net.
All right, I've tried a few combinations of things now. -8 and -10 both behave the same way for me. If the correct address for svr2 appears in /etc/hosts, then they work great. If the incorrect address for svr2 appears in /etc/hosts, then they "hang" on login as it attempts to hit svr2 multiple times, and each mount command has to time out after talking to a nonresponsive IP address. With -7 there is no significant delay when the wrong IP address appears in /etc/hosts. The mounts fail "immediately". Clearly this is a configuration error on my part, but there has definitely been a change in the software between -7 and -8 involving either name lookups, or the behavior with respect to "down" hosts. You can lower the severity on this one, if you still consider it a bug at all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
