Problem with Irex and the 2.6 kernel is the way it looks up hostnames.  When
you add a hostname to a node, gate, email, etc..  Irex crashes.  The only way I
have been able to get it running is to use the actual IP as opposed to the
hostname.  This is okay for me since I only use Irex for email gating and ftp
downlinks and the mail server and ftp server I use have static addresses.  I
use binkd for any binkp connections.
