Yes, I'm following hamm pretty closely. But I upgraded to 2.0.5c, and
didn't get the problem with either 2.0.29 or 2.0.30-pre10. It didn't
show up until 2.1.57-VGER-CVS971010. Taking the dns out of the
networks: line in nsswitch.conf makes 2.1.57 work fine, though.
Interesting that 2.0.31-pre10 works fine for you, though...
