I think it's because in chroot env the system cannot lookup the
domainname and there for the test page (horde/imp/test.php) returns
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(33) "No such host as oden.lindesign.se"
}

Are there any solutions for this, like copy the host binary to the
jailed env where it can be accessed?
