Hi Terry, first thanks for your answer. It's very common, for shell prompts which include the host name, or for some shells that are too stupid to realize that the prompt string does not require the host name, to do a DNS query in order to get the name of the machine they are running on. I

Hi Tom, not all the time, sorry about my bad english :) Sometimes, mostly once a day... see another mail to list from me, sent a few hours ago. This mail describes the problems more detailed. This night i will change RAM to see if it was faulty. But i do not think so. Andy You (Tom) wrote:
