All,
Sorry to followup to this months later, but I just moved some of my more
'embedded' linux system to 19.1 and hit my first 2250 problem. I added the
EntropiaIP line and that didn't fix things. So, I took a look in /lib.
Strangely, I found a libnss_dns-2.0.7.so and a symlink pointing to it
called, of all things, libnss_dns.so.1, not ".2" like I would have expected.
So, I created a ".2" symlink and, what do you know, it works. I don't know
if the EntropiaIP line is necessary with this fix, but I'm not going to
touch it as long as it works. :)
BTW, the configuration is a stock RH5.2 system. Just FYI for anyone looking
for the easiest fix.
Cheers,
David
