 Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2008 4:21 pm Post subject: whois timeout error on several gentoo production servers |
 |
|
Hi-
I've upgrade 3 of 5 production gentoo servers. The upgraded machines are running:
* gentoo hardened with the 3.4.5 gcc
* ran emerge -e system and emerge -e world
* set all of the default config files with etc-update -3
I've worked out most of the kinks but still haven't figured this whois issue out.
on the updated machines running 4.7.24, I get this:
| Code: | whois --verbose 65.41.250.144
Using server whois.arin.net.
Query string: "65.41.250.144"
Timeout.

on the machines not updated machines running 4.7.19, I get this:
| Code: | possum david # whois --verbose 65.41.250.144
Using server whois.arin.net.
Query string: "65.41.250.144"

Stopping iptables gives no joy:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/iptables stop
* Saving iptables state ... [ ok ]
* Stopping firewall ... [ ok ]
whois --verbose 65.41.250.144
Using server whois.arin.net.
Query string: "65.41.250.144"
Timeout. |
my /etc/whois.conf is blank for both new and old setups. Anyone have any ideas? |

| Bump. This just started happening for me recently. No clue why, can't imagine a change that could have affected it. |
