[SUMMARY]about netdir_getbyname question

So far I've got the first question solved . I'm sorry this

question has been listed in the solaris.faq. Here is the faq about

my question:

--------------------------

For some reason the nfs service has disappeared from your /etc/services

file, NIS map or NIS+ table. You need to have an

entry like:

nfsd 2049/udp nfs # NFS server daemon

(clts)

nfsd 2049/tcp nfs # NFS server daemon

(cots)

If you use NIS+, you must make sure that the NIS+ entry is readable for

the machine executing nfsd.

If you used your SunOS 4.x services file, that would explain it: SunOS

4.x doesn't have an entry for nfsd in /etc/services,

Solaris 2.x requires one.

This will usually not happen until you upgrade to Solaris 2.4 or a later

revision. Solaris 2.3 and earlier would always consult

/etc/services, regardless of what nsswitch.conf said. /etc/services does

contain the right NFS entries.

Solaris 2.4 and earlier don't have an entry for NFS over tcp, so this

error is also likely to occur on 2.5+ NFS servers that are

NIS/NIS+ clients of 2.4- servers. In 2.5 the error message will look

like:

nfsd: Cannot get address for transport udp host \1 service nfs

nfsd: Cannot establish NFS service over /dev/udp: transport setup

problem.

nfsd: Cannot get address for transport tcp host \1 service nfs

nfsd: Cannot establish NFS service over /dev/tcp: transport setup

problem.
