SunOS 4.1.3_U1 & NIS & DNS/resolv.conf
2007-12-25 9:56:00
Sorry for the delay ( +/- one month ) but I had lots do do in the meantime...
Original problem: sometimes, our hosts were able to resolve host names which were not in
our LAN, sometimes i got the message 'unknown host' ( after a ping or such... ).
Resolution:
1. I was told to reboot the NIS servers after applying B=-b in /var/yp/Makefile. But
this did not cure the problem.
2. After a while, i found out, that our brodcast adresses were wrong. Manually configuring
the interface with correct netmasks ond broadcast adresses solved the problem - now
everything is ok.
3. nslookup dumped core. Cure: get and install a new one...
4. What did we learn from this ?
Even if /etc/resolv.conf and /var/yp/Makefile is ok, one should check the ineterface
and not rely on what the OS had done.
Thanks to all who have helped.
