- Apparently an rpc.solved bug. It's trying to lookup a name composed
- from the hostname with part of the yp domainname. Add that
- bogus name to your host table/map/dns information, or since this
- only seems to be a problem for yp domainnames consisting of more than
- one token (eg, x.y.z), you could also change your yp domainname to
- one token.

- a popular bug, I had a different problem, my sun support contact
- hasn't resolved it but sent me this note about the problem you saw:
-
- If searches in the SunSolve 1.0 SearchTool result in
- "rpc.solved: RPC: Unknown host" messages (usually on the
- console), try adding the host name that SunSolve expects
- to see to the hosts NIS map (or /etc/hosts, as appropriate).$
- $
- The host names that need to be added are constructed
- as follows: Say that domainname(1) returns "x.y.z", and
- hostname(1) says "h", then add an alias of the type "h.y.z"
- for each machine that will run the SunSolve GUI; you
- may also need an alias for the SunSolve server.$
