Yes, it was me! |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I had forgotten about that but at the time I "solved" the problem like |
| 34 |
this: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
emerge -C net-misc/whois |
| 37 |
emerge net-misc/jwhois |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
In the current occasion I did the network test with tracepath(8) and |
| 40 |
was going to (intentionally) forget about the issue, because I don't |
| 41 |
use traceroute often. Now that you found a pattern in the behavior of |
| 42 |
my system my curiosity became bigger that my laziness and I'll try to |
| 43 |
figure out what's going on. |
