R: Hostname lookup failed

2005-07-05 Thread Montagni, Giovanni
Someone have deleted the PTR record of this server. Now i have added it, and amanda works perfectly. I thought that was a dns problem, but i was convinced that amanda uses only forward lookup zone. Thanks to all for help. Giovanni p.s. Sorry again for bad english.

Hello I can confirm this problem. It looks like a bug with 2.95.4 gcc --version 2.95.4 System: 4.10-RELEASE-p3 I've installed gcc 3.4 and recompiled amanda 2.4.5 with it. It works now. Amanda 2.4.5 works with FreebSD 5.4 so I chose gcc 3.4. Perhaps it works with other 3.x gcc too Regards,
