Or, to get name service working properly with Linux applications in general, # echo "order bind hosts" > /compat/linux/etc/host.conf and, if you're a sh/bash/ksh user, add the lines RESOLV_HOST_CONF=/compat/linux/etc/host.conf export RESOLV_HOST_CONF to your .profile (or /etc/profile to make it system-wide). If you prefer csh or tcsh as your shell, add setenv RESOLV_HOST_CONF /compat/linux/etc/host.conf to your .login (or /etc/csh.login to make it system-wide) instead. [csh is the default shell on a newly-installed FreeBSD system]. James -- Segmentation fault (core dumped): cannot find file '.signature'
