Message-ID: <39@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca> Date: 2 Nov 90 05:47:31 GMT Reply-To: skl@wimsey.bc.ca (Samuel Lam) Followup-To: comp.protocols.tcp-ip Organization: Balliffe Intersystem, Vancouver, B.C., Canada Lines: 12 Could someone please tell me what is the easiest way to get a NIS-less Sun (SunOS 4.1) to use the DNS instead of /etc/hosts for host name lookups? Adding a /etc/resolv.conf file didn't do it. It just changed how nslookup behaves, but nothing else. Thanks in advance for any pointers. ...Sam -- Internet: UUCP: {van-bc,ubc-cs,uunet}!wimsey.bc.ca!skl
