Why you suspect about openssl?
Did you not install other software since your last reboot?
If help, in the same directory that you use to install the openssl, there
are other command for uninstall.

Angelo -
Thank you for your reply! Yes, I did try it with nslookup, and the
addresses
resolve normally. I thoroughly checked the DNS aspect using 'snoop.' What
I
found is that the name information is not getting back to Netscape, so it
keeps
re-requesting the info.
I also loaded a text-based browser called 'lynx' to see if it had any name
resolution problems, but it didn't have any problems at all - lynx worked
just
fine. When I used 'snoop' on lynx, you could see the names going back and
forth
exactly as expected. I even did a test where I went to the exact same
location
using lynx and using Netscape. lynx worked, Netscape didn't. And yes, I
did
try reloading Netscape from scratch (using the same gzip'd tarball as I did
6
months ago), just in case the binary was corrupted in any way. I've blown
away
and reinstalled Netscape twice. Still didn't help, still have the same
problem.
This is definitely Netscape<->DNS weirdness.
Does that give you a clearer picture of what's happening? Let me know if
you
need any additional info, like the sessions I captured using snoop.

I think that Netscape do NOT resolve the address, its call 'gethostbyname'
function.
Did you tried with 'nslookup', Is not a DNS problem? Are you sure?

Subject: HELP - I have a Netscape hang!
I hope someone out there can help me - quickly!
I compiled and installed OpenSSL v0.9.5a a few weeks ago and then I rebooted
my
Sun SPARC (running Solaris 7) on Monday, 06/05. Since then, when I bring up
Netscape (v4.61), it hangs on every site that has to be resolved thru DNS.
If I
put in a numeric URL, Netscape can function; if Netscape must resolve the
address, it hangs until it finally says it can't resolve the name. The
system
was fine until I did the reboot.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this, or at very least
uninstall OpenSSL to see if that is causing the problem? Please help me,
because I am not that great at solving problems that are "under the radar"
(unviewable & system-related, that is). I've tried everything else that I
or my
colleagues can think of. Unfortunately, none of us do system-level
debugging...
Thank you *very* much!
