The machine is in a local network with dialup on-demand and masquading (without local DNS server). After the upgrade, the dialup link started dialing whenever the web server of the local network is accessed (by a machine in the local network, even by itself). After investigation, it turned out that the dialup link is triggered by wn in the logging process. It tries to do a reverse lookup on the address of the client, which skip /etc/hosts and reach root DNS server right away. This is enabled by the CHECK_DNS_HOSTNAME flag at compile time, and there is no way to stop it at run-time. In the current state wn is completely unusable in my environment (I fetch the source, recompile it and hold the version). If accurate logging is really that important, I'd rather see loss of a bit of efficiency and have one more logging flag. -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux sinken 2.2.13 #1 Sun Nov 28 22:00:03 CST 1999 i586 unknown Versions of the packages wn depends on: hi base-passwd 2.1.2 Debian Base System Password/Group Files ii mime-support 3.9-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap', and sup --------------------------------------- Received: (at 51794-done) by bugs.debian.org; 8 Mar 2004 20:45:44 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 08 12:45:44 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from sorgfalt.net (mail.sorgfalt.net) [217.160.169.191] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1B0RdA-0004vm-00; Mon, 08 Mar 2004 12:45:44 -0800 Received: from pd953086c.dip.t-dialin.net ([217.83.8.108] helo=djpig.djpig.de) by mail.sorgfalt.net with asmtp (Cipher TLSv1:DES-CBC3-SHA:168) (Exim 3.35 (Sorgfalt)) id 1B0Rd8-00006J-00; Mon, 08 Mar 2004 21:45:43 +0100 Received: from djpig by djpig.djpig.de with local (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 1B0Rd0-0007xb-00; Mon, 08 Mar 2004 21:45:34 +0100 Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 21:45:34 +0100 From: Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: removed Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i Sender: Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_08 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=4.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_08 X-Spam-Level: wn was removed from Debian unstable today.
