With the new ddn update from Sun, it appears that the yp server should be able to respond to host queries by referring to the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. However, so far I've been completely unsuccessful at making this work --- yp continues to just look in the old hosts map files. Has anyone gotten yp to refer host questions to the named? If so, what did you do? Thanks in advance, John Coolidge coolidge@cs.uiuc.edu

Don't forget to set -b in the /var/yp/Makefile for makedbm on hosts.*. On 386i, don't forget that and the ypserv -i. There are still some problems with the way it works, if the primary named system dies a gruesome death, rlogin, telnet, rsh, etc. all hang. A graceful death (kill -9, etc.) don't. Also ypxfr will complain during the ypinit -s. yp also generates bogus lookups for ^A.domain.name and the like. yp doesn't recognize no-such-host for bogus lookups. telnet bogushost will sit there FOREVER. You can ^C out though. I've got it working just fine here, with YP domains holding only thoses hosts locally on their subnet and the nameservers listted. All other queries go to named. Check your setup with nslookup. -tank- #include <std/disclaimer.h> /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */ tank@apctrc.trc.amoco.com ..!uunet!apctrc!tank
