DNS playing up after installing bastille
I realised that i was unable to connect to rsync.gentoo.org when i tried to 'emerge sync'
I then proceeded to try pinging the domain but had no luck. It seems i can ping IP addresses fine and connect to IP addresses fine but that the DNS is playing up and not resolving hostnames to IP addresses.
I expect i should point out that TITAN made a backup when i used it and i restored the backup successfully with no error messages. I have looked through the bastille configuration script again and dont believe i made any changes that would affect DNS.

No. What is the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf"?

passwd: files
shadow: files
group: files
hosts: files dns
networks: files dns
services: db files
protocols: db files
rpc: db files
ethers: db files
netmasks: files
netgroup: files
bootparams: files
automount: files
aliases: files
Somehow this file got fsked up. Ive added dns to the networks line and it works fine
Anyway, thanks for your help, much appreciated.
