If not, it hangs on getsockname(), apparently because I'm not running named and also am not connected to a machine that is. I took bind out of /etc/host.conf and rebooted, to no avail. There is no resolv.conf, and I don't want to figure out a viable named configuration yet. Also, the default nameserver timeout is LONG (seems to be about 5 mins). Is that configurable? When I do get connected, the primary nameserver is often unreachable; I'd hate to wait that long for a secondary. (I had to put a bundle of syslog calls into inetd.c to find this one...:-) Is there a way to get getsockname() to not do a nameserver query? -- Pete
