Don't use host(1) to check, it doesn't use the system resolver that is used by normal programs for name resolution. Try this instead: $ doas -u _pkgfetch getent hosts ftp.openbsd.org 129.128.5.191 ftp.openbsd.org Or even $ doas -u _pkgfetch ftp -o- http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ ... Is there anything else involved? http_proxy? anything "odd" in resolv.conf?
