- If you want to run DNS without NIS, you can try the resolv+ library
- of Bill Wisner. It lets you choose which method to use first (DNS,
- NIS and /etc/hosts), and also comes with a Makefile wich knows how
- to create a new SunOS shared c library ... you run "make libc.so"
- and everything is fine!
