hello, i'm facing a really weird problem on my machine. when doing "telnet localhost" my machine always does a DNS lookup even if
- host.conf: order hosts, bind - nsswitch.conf: hosts: files dns - localhost is defined in /etc/hosts now, if i do 'unset DISPLAY' this behaviour goes magically away ... - DISPLAY not set -> network not touched - DISPLAY=:<displaynum> -> dns lookup made - DISPLAY=<host>:<displaynum> -> network not touched this looks extremely weird to me: dns does not have anything to do with X, does it ? also, on the debian machine of a friend i cannot trigger this behaviour, even with identical /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, /etc/ resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf this is very annoying too, since when the network is down, starting KDE/gnome apps takes ages (it takes as long as a DNS timeout) another very weird thing: on my system, by default, libraries come from /lib/tls, on my friends system they come from /lib. ld.so.conf is identical. moving away /lib/tls has no effect on the dns lookup behaviour. Someone knows what could be the origin of this problem ? and somebody knows what /lib/tls is for ? thanks, greetings, frank -- Frank Dekervel Mechelsestraat 88 3000 Leuven [EMAIL PROTECTED], (nieuw) 0473/94.34.21 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
