- Subject: why is bash trying to access my DNS?
Today I tried to install sshd on my
cygwin system, (which also resulted in
downloading lots of updates, since I'd
been lax in updating for a while).
I went through the setup procedures for
openssh, and got it working. During all
of this, I had disabled my firewall
(ZoneAlarm), since I've had problems
with it and sshd in the past.
When I reenabled Zonealarm, and tried to
open cygwin (run rxvt), all of a sudden
ZoneAlarm pops up a message 'rxvt want
to access the internet (and then tells
me it is trying to access my DNS server)
I deny that request, and bash asks for
the same thing. and vim.
Well, something seems screwy, and it has
definitely never done this before.
So I uninstalled ssh, but that didn't
help. So I completely uninstalled
cygwin, wiped my registry of all cygwin
related things, rebooted, and
reinstalled cygwin. and bash STILL
wanted to access the DNS server (and
rxvt and everything else)
After searching the web, I found other
people had had this problem, and it was
related to cygdaemo, but this does not
appear to be the case for me (no
cygdaemo on my box anywhere, cygserver
isn't running, and this is a WinXP box)
I figured I'd try to look at bash's
strace output, and get the followng
(hopefully, I pasted in enough). I
wasn't able to glean anything from it.
Can anyone tell me what I did to my
system? this is very frustrating.
