[comp.unix.questions] Networks, hosts ...

	I have a question concerning networks/hosts. Using "ypcat" I can view
a bunch of the unix networks, but none of the hosts (i.e. "mit-net 128.30 is
all I get). If instead of "networks" I "ypcat hosts", I get only
the hosts here at U.C.L.A.  My problem is that I want to send mail to a friend
at MIT, and I have no way of knowing his ID because I can't "finger" a network
before the "60 seconds: Connection Timed Out" message. I need a list of hosts atother networks, not just mine. Is there any way to get the information other 
than "ypcat"? If not, could someone mail me a list of hosts if its available
on your system but not mine?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - E-mail to hc49rrc@valhalla.cs.ucla.edu (don't "re:" - it doesn't come
       back to the same place, thus remaining unsent. Thanks. C.R.
