Resovled! Re: problems after upgrading to fedora core 5

[cliff]

Just an FYI since wget exposes this bug, you may see more questions about
it. The solution to my problem was
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186592

Specically, removing nisplus from the host line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
resolved the problem.

Thanks for the help.

 That is not good because it means that either Wget has a so far
 unencountered bug, or that the binary is misbuilt.  Can you try to build
 Wget yourself and see if the problem persists?

Good to know, thanks.  I'm stil curious as to why compiling Wget from
source helped.  The version in their source RPM doesn't appear to be
significantly different from what we ship.
