I don't know where to direct this problem in fact, google gives me
nothing of value. Nor do I know what cause it.
InetAddress won't resolve hostnames as root. => UnknownHostExceptions
and MessageExceptions && so on.
Is this a *security feature*? I wan't to be able to run java as root in
a development context (tomcat, java...)
Best regards,
Ole Christian
