I'm having what seems to be an inordinate amount of difficulty getting nameserver access set up for our Sun 3/160 running SunOS 4.1. I want to use other machines as nameservers. I have set up resolv.conf containing the address of the nameserver, as described in the manual. It works when I use the program nslookup. I'm not sure what to do with named.local, named.boot, or named.ca. I understand more or less how to set them up if *your* machine is the nameserver, but the one sentence describing how to set it up so that resolv.conf is used was very noninformative. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. -Roger -- "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim" - Edsgar W.
