Restarting in 30 seconds. Jan 7 07:13:40 spirit xinetd[22412]: Activating service sgi_fam reverting to msec level 3 which remove the hosts.deny lines fixes the problem however I really wonder if this is not a glibc problem in fact, since several program are now unable to correctly resolve hostnames to ip address, thus the message 'libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from <no address>' Notice the no address see also my report on kopete (same host resolution problem) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
