occasional error

[Rick Smith]

Hello All!

I am wondering if anyone knows why this happens? Its not all the time but the
same node always? It has a node statement, address correct etc...

11:01 [31401] call to 1:105/***@fidonet
+ 11:01 [31401] getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (-2)
11:01 [31400] rc(31401)=0

Increase the *loglevel* and it might give you more info.

Your wh2bbs.us domain has an A record:

But it looks like your bbs.wh2bbs.us domain does not have such a record, and it
should have one.

You are correct I had forgot to add the bbs. part of the domain that fixed
it....

It does lead me to another ? tho. I had a nodestatement for that node that
just had wh2bbs.us but binkd was trying bbs.wh2bbs.us? So it makes me wonder if
I had a node statement in binkd.cfg why did it use the nodelist instead of that
node statement?

Do you use nodelist.pl in your binkd.cfg? Or maybe you have a different
binkd.cfg with bbs.wh2bbs.us in it and sometimes you start binkd with that
binkd.cfg? Try to find the second configuration:

sudo updatedb
locate binkd

I do use binkd style nodelist so in my binkd.cfg I have all of my node
statements and after the node statements I have an include for the nodelist.
So does binkd read the nodelist before the node statements?

No, it reads the addresses from left to right. If, for any reason, the first
address is not accessible, then it reads the next one. It looks like sometimes
there was a problem with the first address.

Something wrong with the DNS configuration for that hostname.
