Guys, A week or so ago BZFlag was masked due to a security issue, I read the GLSA. At that time I unmasked the package and installed it. At that time it worked beautifully. Several days ago I format my HDD and did a clean reinstall. I then noticed that Gentoo devs had umasked it. So I eagerly emerged it only to find that it now will not connect to the games servers. I scanned the gentoo forums only to find that I am not the only one. Looky here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-446242-highlight-bzflag.html I know you guys take security issues seriously as do I. So, I am wondering if you guys patched BZFlag in some way. If so, your patch may be causing the problem. BZFlag is useless without the ability to connect to servers, that is my reason for marking this bug as a "blocker". :-( AxXium P.S. My optimizations are not the problem as it worked before using the same settings.

Ok, it's working now. I re-emerged pam and xorg-x11 and ran "source /etc/profile" Now it works and works well. :-) But I don't know why.
Sounds like user error. Glad it's working for you now.
