Something seems wrong with my dictd. It was working until this morning. Now it seems I can't get it to start despite repeated /etc/init.d/dictd start|restart's. Here's the result of using the dict client:
~ $ dict -v test Trying /home/gandalf/.dictrc... Trying /etc/dict.conf... Configuration file: server localhost server dict.org Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) Can't connect to localhost.2628 Can't get host entry for dict.org.2628 dict: Cannot connect to any servers (use -v to see why) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
