This doesn't have much to do with the question posted previously about DNS and YP, but that question brought this to mind. We, too, have the resolver libc.so on a SparcStation, and it works great for fully qualified names. I notice that it completely ignores any entries in /etc/hosts (or the YP version thereof), including any nicknames. Is there any way to make the search path: 1) Search the /etc/hosts (YP) for the name/nickname 2) if that fails, use DNS. Steven V. Christensen U.C. College of Eng. schriste@uceng.uc.edu
