Hi, I have recently set up my own name server and have a couple of queries. Firstly, since having set up the ns, I cannot get communicator 4.05 to run properly unless I have first established a PPP connection. What happens is communicator seems to hang and I cannot even kill the process. I also get a message /etc/spwd.db: Invalid argument. Any suggestions? I know it isn't a big problem, but it means that I have to be online all the time I'm writing e-mails which isn't very cost effective. Secondly, I assume that having set up the ns there must be a local cache of addresses somewhere, to save having to look up the same addresses again and again. Any idea where this is and whether it is readable or not? I really just want to see that what I have set up is working correctly. I have deleted /etc/resolv.conf to make sure that I'm not using my ISP's name servers and everything seems to work O.K. I just really want a final bit of reassurance.
