I set up the CERN 3.0 server on my box and we tried to install Mosaic 2.6 for Linux on his box: When I added the line "order hosts,bind" to my /etc/host.conf the Linux resolver in /lib/libc.so.4 worked correctly. The net effect was, that Mosaic 2.6 for Linux works better on my machine than on his. ;) On the Linux box Mosaic wouldn't run at all. Claimed to be caught by an unnoticed bug. (He has Linux 1.0 or somewhat above...) NOW I can start Linux xdoom (or Abuse.x11R6 for that matter) without the -disp :0 that was necessary until then. -Arnulf
