Hello, I start MC 4.6.0 on a Linux box with a default route and a nameserver into /etc/resolv.conf.
When the internet connection is down I experience a very very long delay on MC startup. >From a tcpdump trace I see that Midnight Commander tries to resolve several names for each existing network interface: 61383+ A? lo.texnet.org. (31) 61384+ A? lo. (20) 61387+ A? LO.texnet.org. (31) 61388+ A? LO. (20) 61391+ A? eth0.texnet.org. (33) 61392+ A? eth0. (22) 61393+ A? ETH0.texnet.org. (33) 61394+ A? ETH0. (22) texnet.org is the "search" domain in resolv.conf. Each request is repated several times and take up a lot of time before timeout. Why this annoying lookup? Is there a way to avoid it? Waiting 2-3 minutes before seeing the blue screen is frustrating, also frustrating is to be requested to cut the route to any DNS server before starting MC... Thank you. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy Iraq, missione di pace: 37918 morti - www.iraqbodycount.net _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
