Hi,

I am trying to get nfswatch running on my DECstation 3100 (24 meg,
ultrix 4.1, Rev. 52).  However, the program always immediately exits
with a "No such file or directory" error.  Using gdb, I have
traced the error down to a "gethostname" call.  When run from the
debugger, I get this output:

(gdb)
154             if (gethostname(myhost, sizeof(myhost)) < 0) {
(gdb)
gethostname () (../gethostname.s line 18)
../gethostname.s: No such file or directory.


Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

- Rob
