I think I made it through the yum 404 issues I was having, but now it's broke in a new way. I'm trying to build a package from source so I can get a static version of it, so I download the source, extract it, and ./configure isn't happy. "checking whether build environment is sane... error: newly created file is older than distributed files' I check the system time and get: Monday, Jan 1 20:30:37 2007 ... Not a problem, I've had to use rdate before to sync the system time. 'rdate -s time-b.nist.gov' fails: "Assertion 'hent->h_addrType == 2' failed" I did some checking and found source to rdate, found the offending assertion... assert(hent->h_addrType == AF_INET); (hent is the host entry of the NTP server that is passed to rdate) So apparently it thinks the NTP server isn't IPv4... ? I try to ping the server out of curiosity and lack of other ideas. Ping returns good, but something's funny with it: PING time-b.nist.gov (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. ... It resolved the host time-b.nist.gov to be 127.0.0.1 I try to ping it by it's real IP and get nothing back. Anyone have any thoughts on why everything resolves to the loopback address? I checked the DNS servers and they're the same for another machine that's working fine. LF -- Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. Loading...
