dict.org appears to be down -- it's been this way for at least a day or two (I noticed it wasn't working earlier this week, but I don't recall when.) Googling also reveals that this is a widespread issue. Adding the dict server you found to /etc/dictd/dict.conf, right after localhost, made dict behave normally for me (modulo sending requests to Denmark, but that doesn't concern me overmuch. :) It *appears* that all three of the dict servers I had configured went down at the same time -- that seems like a particularly poor choice of defaults, but perhaps it's more complex than I realize. --Rogan _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
