Hello, Someone asked for checkpointing libraries for FreeBSD on the cluster list. I went to -- http://www.checkpointing.org/ today and found they have several libraries for Linux (and also several kernel patches for kernel checkpoint ), but no FreeBSD ports available, however. Anyone interested

The issue here is that there are nameservers out there which, with the prior release of freebsd, worked fine with sendmail. An incompatible version of sendmail is about to be foisted on an unsuspecting public. I don't care particularly one way or the other, as I now know what the problem is, and

It is not a matter of a timeout. The "A ?" come back fine. `dig' and 'nslookup' both resolve the name -- there is no timeout. `ping' works, for example. Because sendmail "correctly" (aka: anal-retentively) adheres to a protocol, it flags this as an error, and doesn't attempt to try the "A ?" quer
