Hi, Can't reproduce this issue. Can only force this issue by emptying my /etc/resolv.conf. What are the contens and permissions of your /etc/resolv.conf? $ cat /etc/resolv.conf; ls -lah /etc/resolv.conf Also, do you use/have a /etc/nsswitch.conf? ($ dpkg -l | grep libnss; cat /etc/nsswitch.conf) Regards, Linus
