Hello,
I was using junkbuster a while ago, and I tried it again yesterday.
The version I had used in potato worked quite well. I told netscape
to use localhost:5865 as the proxy, and it worked pretty well.
However, since moving up to testing, it doesn't work anymore and I
haven't found anything about it on the web or old Debian mail. When I
try to access a page that is not on my machine, I get the message 'No
such domain: www.google.com' (for example). However, when I
try http://216.239.37.101 (google's ip), I did get the page and I was
able to search and click around a bit. But, when I clicked 'Google'
on one of their webpages (i.e., back to www.google.com), I got the 'No
such domain' message again.
Some details:
- I can go to the `show-proxy-args' page and it says that junkbuster
is running. (Version 2.0.2, to be specific).
- I can read files on my machine.
- I don't see any ipchains reject or deny messages due to an output
rule in my logs.
- Lynx doesn't work with it either. I tried
http_proxy=http://localhost:5865/; export http_proxy; lynx
but got the same message.
So, why can't this junkbuster resolve internet addresses? Does it have
something to do with junkbuster changing from running as user nobody
to junkbust? Can I fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Brian
