Description:	IAX2 has no problems binding to 0.0.0.0, but sip doesnt like it. filling in an actual ip adres resolves this, but can't be used for dynamic ip adresses.

(it has a different behaviour). About the DNS, you are probably very right, i just don't get why it works as root and refuses to work as non root. By: Mark Spencer (markster) 2004-04-15 08:50:17 Why don't you try doing a "host obelix" as root and as non-root and see if it makes a difference.  perhaps permissions are wrong on /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf? By: Brian West (bkw918) 2004-04-15 10:34:29 I agree its not a root non-root issue.  Non root processes can bind to anything over 1024 ... it clearly can't find its own hostname.
