There is a minor problem with Ultrix 2.0 and the DEC-supplied version of
X windows. The DEC-supplied version of X windows was presumably compiled
and linked on an Ultrix 1.2 system. Therefore, it doesn't have Yellow Pages
code linked in (since YP didn't exist on 1.2).

Therefore, if you upgrade to 2.0, then re-install X windows, things that
require YP services may not work right. The example we ran into was xhost.
It couldn't add any hosts which were not in the local /etc/hosts.

I understand that a new version of X windows (not X11 though) is making
its way through the usual software distribution channels.
