I noticed (since I'm running all kinds of -current during the past months) on one machine that e.g. # ftp ftp.freebsd.org ftp: ftp.freebsd.org: Unknown host ftp> quit fails in the first place. Invoking it a second time right after this, it works: # ftp ftp.freebsd.org Connected to wcarchive.cdrom.com. 220 wcarchive.cdrom.com FTP server (Version DG-2.0.39 Sun May 4 19:21:05 PDT 1997) ready. Name (ftp.freebsd.org:kuku): Now I wonder if this is a problem with the nameservers upstream or if it's a FreeBSD problem. /etc/host.conf: # $Id: host.conf,v 1.2 1993/11/07 01:02:57 wollman Exp $ # Default is to use the nameserver first # If that doesn't work, then try the /etc/hosts file bind hosts # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line nis (yes, I had that nis line enabled but actually don't run NIS on that machine, I will disable the nis line again to see it the problem persists). -- Chris Christoph P.
