I recently upgraded from version 1.5 to 1.5.7 (and switched from B news to C, but that's another story). Now nntpsend/nntpxmit can't seem to look-up hostnames, e.g. nap1.cds.wpafb.af.mil (one of my feeds) but have no problem with 129.48.1.1 (one of nap1's addresses). As a workaround, I changed sys and nntpsend to refer to the numeric addresses, but I'd prefer to use alphanumeric names. Is this a known problem, or did I do something knuckleheaded when I upgraded? My configuration is C News Sept14 on a 4.3 VAX. Thanks. -- Dave Sill (dsill@relay.nswc.navy.mil)

If you're not using DNS lookup (resolv.conf, etc), then this is almost certainly the wrong think. Compiling without the -lresolv commented out will look things up in either the static tables or YP if you're running it. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
