OK, I'll jump in, ignoring the rest of the thread. > A nslookup|dig|host can resolve the hostname, so that can't be the problem. > If i write the FQDN of the host name in the disklist, the error is the > same. nslookup, dig and host do not use the same resolver as regular libc based applications do. Try "ping" or "telnet" and see if it figures the IP out. When using xinetd, which version are you using? Does upgrading the client to xinetd 2.3.12 or xinetd CVS help? Older xinetd versions are nasty (read: non-functional) when IPv6 stacks are involved, even when IPv6 is not in use. For instance, my in.ntalkd and amanda would not work. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
