[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] in.named on SunOS3.4 and its friends

Has anyone had any success in getting things like telnet,
ftp, rlogin, and so forth to work with the nameserver under
SunOS 3.4?  I've tried taking 4.2BSD source and compiling
it on the suns with the resolver library, but it just doesn't
seem to work.

Assuming you got the named(8) running on your SUNs, and use YP,
just start up ypserv with a -i flag.  The YP server will then
use the named(8) to resolve any unknown request.  Your client
will not use named(8) directly, but via the YP server.

Good Luck.
