4 hello...
5 I'm not 100% sure, if this is a gentoo-thing, but it does work on my
6 linux-from-scratch computer. then again, it also works on my other
7 gentoo-box, running the same kernel...
8 anyways, i'd be more than happy, if someone could give me some advice.
9 my no-ip-updater stopped working recently. i investigated, and came to the
10 conclusion, that it doesnt work, because the gethostbyname()-function doesnt
11 work for non-root users on my system. everything works fine as root, but if i
12 am somebody else, it gives me a "TRY_AGAIN" error, meaning a temporary error
13 occured on the name server.
14 i am not a security-expert, but i honestly doubt it is supposed to be that
15 way...
16 can anyone comment on this? i would be grateful..
