Re: mc problem under 4.2
Hmm, I found the answer: lookup file bind in /etc/resolv.conf solves the problem. ping localhost won't works too becouse of bad dns configuration. Thanks On Nov 27, 2007 9:18 PM, Jack J.

My "wild analytical guess" about your problem is this: One of the two panes of the mc display is logged into some remote device or file system -- nfs, ftp, unmounted disk, etc. Hmm the problem is not so simple i have second machine with OpenBSD 4.2 and everything works fine.

My "wild analytical guess" about your problem is this: One of the two panes of the mc display is logged into some remote device or file system -- nfs, ftp, unmounted disk, etc. Something. And that file system is not active so mc tries after each command until it times out. Was that a good guess? -- Jack J. Woehr Director of Development Absolute Performance, Inc.

This feels like a dns resolution issue, maybe a missing entry in /etc/hosts if you just did an upgrade, maybe you blew away your hosts or resolv.conf ? I don't use mc, but doesn't it do some sort of ftp or remote file transfer, and may like to know its' hostname/address? Does it maybe take long to ping $(hostname)? you can use ktrace(1) to examine what mc is busy waiting for from the system, if thats the case.
mc problem under 4.2
Hello I have a strange problem with mc (MidnightCommander). After install OpenBSD 4.2 mc doesn't work properly. When i type: mc I have to wait 5 min to see the Midnight Commander. After comannd it hangs and it's ready to work after 5 minutes. It doesnt matter I use bsd or bsd.mp kernel. It doesn't matter which terminal I use. I tried to instal mc using ports but it won't help. There is no problem with other software. Thanks for any help Regards, Bambero
