That all looks correct and not the cause of your problem.

That is definitly a problem, and probably the cause of dnscache 
failing. The only way I can think of to see what is causing it is to 
look at the output of "ps" and hopefully find a link between that 
message and some daemon that is running.

Did you change something in /etc/inittab?
