[Bug 33473] Re: Network not up in time, gaim fails

[John Nilsson]

Ok, I removed the dns line from /etc/network/interfaces (don't konw where I got it from...) and added the backup nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf.

I hade som random issues when booting the computer, so the results aren't reliable, but now gaim worked directly.

My nameserver is started by this line in /etc/inittab:
SV:123456:respawn:/usr/bin/svscanboot

and directyl after boot this time I checked the server:
john at newkid:~$ sudo svstat /var/lib/svscan/*
Password:
/var/lib/svscan/dnscache: up (pid 9430) 5 seconds
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-private: up (pid 9427) 5 seconds
/var/lib/svscan/tinydns-public: up (pid 9426) 5 seconds

so it appears to be running.

I'll try to reboot when commenting out the other dns-servers from resolv.conf again to see if it was random chance or if it was the dns-nameservers line that was the culprit.
