Lines: 29 We are running the name server (/etc/named) now on our apollos (SR10.2). But now not all the programs which should use the name server, use it. According to the manual page of gethostbyname: > Domain/OS EXTENSION > The Domain/OS version of gethostbyname locates the name server's resolver > routines in their own dynamic library, /lib/libresolv, rather than in the > /lib/clib global library. This sounds great, since then you don't need to recompile (better: link) all the programs (of which you normally don't have the sources) with the proper library. However, how do you get this working. Inlib (built-in command in the shells) doesn't seem to help. I think there must be a simple solution to this. But which??
