Has anyone else noticed jwhois queries to have quit working?
I get
root # jwhois 128.111.24.43
[Querying whois.arin.net]
[Error creating socket]
[Unable to connect to remote host]
If I change the default server, still get the same message.
Changing to alpha style notation:
jwhois ftp.ucsb.edu
I get a bunch of blab about

Far as I know jwhois was working until very recently and the current
failures may have started following an -uD world although as eix
reports below... jwhois has not been updated since 10/2007 and there have
been no update pkgs in that time..
