- There is a bug in SearchTool's determination of the host name you're
- running it at (at least if you run NIS or named on your system).
-
- If `domainname` is a.b.c and `hostname` is d then rpc.solved tries
- to send the answer of a search to the host named d.b.c (in spite of
- d.a.b.c).
-
- So you have to create an appropriate entry for NIS or named for
- the (not existing) host d.b.c and it will work.
