Subject: Re: DRb Problems with Mac OS X 10.5.3

No solution yet, but it looks like something has changed in some 
underlying networking library, as base socket handing methods seem to be 
broken:

[kschrader@einstein:~]$ irb
>> require 'socket'
=> true
>> Socket.getaddrinfo(Socket.gethostname, 0, Socket::AF_INET, Socket::SOCK_STREAM, nil, Socket::AI_CANONNAME)
SocketError: getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
  from (irb):2:in `getaddrinfo'
  from (irb):2
