If you have already configured this, you might want to look again. (man -k resolver should help you find whatever it is on 5.x - I suspect it's nsswitch.) --wxDdMuZNg1r63Hyj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/WLV2aUz3f+Zf+XsRAgt8AKCJPftw+or7SF8NEfzBT9CoYT24gQCbB46/ J2FOnfgMLaoxwnweAFNdlng= =eoV9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wxDdMuZNg1r63Hyj--
