Presumably it's the casper process (i.e., cap_dns) that uses your module? If the main ping process is blocked trying to resolve a name, it's waiting for the cap_dns process - where exactly is it getting stuck? > Is there some kind of manual on how to write casper-compatible NSS modules? _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
