This host will be connected to the internet soon, but is a local network now. In /etc/host.conf the order is 'hosts ... bind', so that he can resolv local hostnamed directly. As soon as I start the named everything slows down. When I start tcsh it needs minutes to finish loading. When I look at the named-debug I found: req: nlookup() id 512 type=1 req: missed '' as '' (cname=0) Why does the tcsh need to call a nlookup? csh didn't this and starts as fast as normal. When you did a rlogin from another host on the LAN it takes hour's before you will be prompted for the password. In named-debug I found req: nlookup(#localhost.infoconcept.de) id 256 type=1 req: found '#localhost.infoconcept.de' as 'infoconcept.de' (cname=0) [...] req: nlookup(#localhost) id 512 type=1 req: missed '#localhost' as '' (cname=0) [...] req: nlookup(#my_very_good_friend.domain) id 768 type=1 req: missed '#my_very_good_friend.domain' as '' (cname=0) [...] req: nlookup(#my_very_good_friend.domain.infoconcept.de) id 1024 type=1 req: found '#my_very_good_friend.domain.infoconcept.de' as 'infoconcept.de' (cname=0) Yes, my local domain is 'infoconcept.de' but the host from which the rlogin came does appear in /etc/hosts, so there is no nlookup neccessary. The dalay time may result from the long timeout conncecting one of the root nameservers. I really don't want to user a nlookup when I login from local hosts, because every nsrequest will dial out and cost me money. I also like to know where or what the "#my_very_good_friend.domain" come from. Thanks for your help, Carsten Tschach -- -------------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Carsten Tschach | Freie Universitaet Berlin tschach@zedat.fu-berlin.de | Zentraleinrichtung fuer Datenverarbeitung tschach@www.fu-berlin.de | WWW-Admin of http://www.fu-berlin.de/
