DNS seems to work with everything else I've tried. Firefox, chromium-browser, dig, gethostip, emacs/gnus, even ntpdate. If I could find another program that failed I would use that for testing.

I tried building the upstream ntp-4.2.6 and installed it under "/home/util64/ntp-4.2.6/". When I ran it from the command line (as root) or as a soft link from /usr/sbin/ it seemed to work (the strace showed periodic connection to the right servers). However if I moved lucid's ntpd out of the way replacing /usr/sbin/ntpd with the new version, and restarted the ntp service, I got the a similar problem; the syslog indicting first a "Deferring DNS" for each host and then the usual "host name not found" messages. The working command was: $ cd /home/util64/ntp-4.2.6/bin $ strace ./ntpd -n -c /etc/ntp.conf -g -u 123:130 2>&1 | tee /tmp/new.trace -- Barry Fishman ** Attachment added: "NTP.trace" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42195540/NTP.trace -- ntp host name not found error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
