Hi folks I have a couple of intel woody machines here, one originally a storm box and one originally a potato. I can't recall exactly when this started - I apt-get dist-upgrade regularly - but both are now exhibiting the following weird behaviour.
I run a dns server for my local network and for caching external lookups. I run diald with ip masquerading. When I attempt to telnet from either of these two boxes to any other on my network, and I enter a non-fully-qualified domain name, diald brings up the line before the telnet succeeds. If I enter the fully qualified domain name, the telnet works immediately. I can ping/nslookup with or without the fqdn.... I thought this might be a reverse lookup problem as is often the case, but the entries on the dns server are right and I can nslookup the reverse entries no problem, i.e. nslookup 192.168.0.13 gives kermit and nslookup kermit gives 192.168.0.13. I am confused; does anyone have any ideas? TIA -- Michael Pacey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wd21 ltd - world domination in the 21st century
