I posted my /etc/hosts, my host.conf, and my resolve.conf file. The command was, logged in as myself and not root: rlogin phaeton The packets were going to the first host in my rc.conf, to port 53; they were UDP packets doing a reverse lookup for phaeton... a reverse lookup that should have been satisfied by the "phaeton" entry in my /etc/hosts file. Nothing else was running on the system. not routed, no named, no NIS, no NFS. Nothing. My OS version is 3.0-current as of a week ago. My OS version is actually the only information I didn't provide before, mostly because I thought everyone knew from past postings that I run -current. > But since I don't have the problem, there's nothing I can do.

I will rebuild a kernel that can do tcpdump and get back to you; the rest of the information is in the list archives, and several other people have voiced a similar complaint. This was originally a comment by me, not a question, or I would have posted on questions, like ettiquite requires.
