- |> How can I make the X-terminals recognize names in place of IP numbers

- |>
- |> The stage:
- |> - Dozens of NCD Xterminals (17c and 19), booting from a
- |> SPARCStation 4/40 (IPC) called `vivaldi'.
- |> - We **don't** use DNS but NIS (Yellow Pages..).
- |>
- |> In the past these Xterminals recognized names in place of IP addresses,
- |> `vivaldi' was a NIS Master server for it's own domain (called `facs') and we
- |> didn't use DNS.
- |>
- |> When `vivaldi' has become a Slave NIS server for other domain (`fibronics')
- |> and `facs' domain was removed.. the Xterminals didn't want to recognize names..
-
- The SUMMARY:
-
- 1) NCD Xterminals use DNS to recognize host-names
-
- 2) A Hack is to let `inetd' run in.tnamed (in the /etc/inetd.conf).
- ...
- name dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tnamed in.tnamed
- ...
- This is used for domain-services on IEN-116 Domain Protocol..
