Harvey) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: Summary: Sun DNS resolver question Message-ID: <25386@adm.brl.mil> Date: 4 Jan 91 00:31:47 GMT Sender: news@adm.brl.mil Lines: 19 Wow. Many thanks for the lightning-quick responses to my SunOS 4.0.3 DNS resolver problem (the next morning 8-). It turns out the resolver library routines distributed with SunOS do not query the DNS by default. For my particular situation (Sun 4 running SunOS 4.0.3, not running YP), the fix was to obtain a new library from uunet.uu.net /sun-fixes/libc_resolv.so.sun4.Z, uncompress it and move it to /usr/lib/libc.so.1.{next version}, and update the library cache using ldconfig. I did this and it works great now. Thanks again to: Syd Weinstein , Datacomp Systems, Inc. David N. Blank , M.I.T.
