Actually that is exactly what I did last night. It took the problem away. I will be testing this a little more this evening. Some very interesting things though, 1. I took all rules out but the ACCEPT port 53 for both TCP and UDP, and also left the REJECT rules in for TCP and UDP at the end. When I tested. 'host www.google.com' still failed 'host -T www.google.com' worked. 2. I took out just the port 53 TCP rule and tried the same test. 'host www.google.com' failed 'host -T www.google.com' WORKED!!!! (This should have failed) 3. I took out all rules except the REJECTs and got the same results! 4. turned off ipchains all together and BOTH worked! 5. I also tried a different default kernel. (binmem and std 2.4.20-8) Again, it was rather late when I made this discovery and I will do some more testing this evening. This is some very strange behavior. I am very surprised that it has not been uncovered before! I will keep everyone posted. Thanks for all the suggestions. Does anyone know how to force a kernel core dump? And how to analyze it?
