The only additional comment I have is that Redhat's glibc 2.2.5 may
not be the same as Debian's. Certainly a postgresql mktime problem has
appeared which Debian's 2.2.5 has no problems, but Redhat's does
(because its been changed in CVS and somebody included the CVS version
in Redhat). Whether this has any applicability to this case I have no
idea and no time currently to debug it,

Is there a "standard" way of configuring Unix networks ?
