I recently received the X11/NeWS server from Sun. (OpenWindows, if you prefer.)
But I am having problems starting the combined server. It complains that it is
"Unable to resolve host: localhost". My guess is that because our Sun's use the
modified libraries that provide BIND access, the X11/NeWS server's attempts at
obtaining an address for localhost fail, since no search of the local hostfile
is being performed. Can anyone confirm this ? Is there any way around this short
of removing the BIND supporting libraries from the system ?
I can get the server to work in X11ONLY mode by using the standard X11
DISPLAY environment variable, but apparently the NeWS portion of the server
requires this localhost link, and I would really like to run the server in
dual mode.
