Well, after hearing from many people on the net, I figured out that
I had left in the "-lresolv" line in my NNTP makefile. On a Sun
NOT running DNS, this causes weird problems (see my earlier mail).
I was about to go batty on this one; yet again THANK GOD FOR THE
NET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>let's hear it for the quiet genii (geniuses?) who always seem to come thru with
lifesaving info. !!!!!!!!
ps: NNTP authors/caretakers may do well to issue some sort of a
warning to people on Suns not running DNS. This "feature" can quickly
become a "I'm-going-to-jump-off-a-bridge" type problem. :-)
