What kernel are you using? What programming language. I just tried it |
| 2 |
on my box as a user and it worked fine: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
>>> from socket import gethostbyname |
| 5 |
>>> print gethostbyname("www.python.org") |
| 6 |
194.109.137.226 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
In short, I don't think it's a "gentoo-thing, especially since it works |
| 9 |
on your other gentoo box". |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The man page for gethostbyname says: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
TRY_AGAIN |
| 14 |
A temporary error occurred on an authoritative name |
| 15 |
server. Try again later. |
