hi everyone..

i'm trying to run soldat dedicated server on freebsd in chroot-ed enviroment, but i've encountred some problems width nss

server is not able to lookup hostname... (it looks somewhat like this)
. . .
Exception raised while sending
Registering server @ lobby.soldatserver.com
. . .

already tried to mirror *entire* compat/linux enviroment into chrooted env, but widthout success <_<

i've faked it with static ips in lobby_list for now, but i'm not sure if its not contraproductive (dont know how lobby servers works.. if it its httpd with namebased-virtualhosting-thingie than i'm fscked up :p)

first time running something width LBC under chrooted enviroment.. so any help/advice would be appreciated ^^;
tx

edit: btw, server src would be nice present imo... ;]
why not make it OSS?

One of my old shell servers had this prob, had nothing to do with Soldat though...
Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure there's a
hosts: files dns
line in there

If all else fails, look up the program called 'named'

Also, using IP's rather than the lobby DNS addresses isnt really a problem, they are all static I guess, since they havent changed for the past... ever?

Not going to happen.

Hasn't the lobby.soldatserver.com stopped or something.

Because I saw that the lobby has been removed in the lobby_servers.txt on the latest (2.5.0) dedicated server.

happy to know that...
dynamic ip's arent problem at all (script's already doing lookup before entering chroot)
i was afraid of namebased vhosts.. but whatever :]

tx for help
