	Hey ho.....

	We just received our 3rd Personal IRIS so I decided it was time to
turn on the Yellow Pages.  I followed the easy-to-follow instruction without
much problem.  However, one of our users immediately discovered that rlogin
no longer uses the named to resolve addresses.  Instead it has reverted back
to the pre-named behaviour of using /etc/hosts, or rather, the yp hosts
database imported from the master yp server.

	This is undesirable behaviour.  How can I force rlogin to go back
to using the named?  Are there any other nasty suprises in store for
me?  I have looked at the manuals for info regarding rlogin/named/yp but
have found nothing relevant.

	BTW: We are running IRIX 3.2.2 on 4D/20, 4D/25 and 4D/25.

Thanks in advance,
