Hi; I was checking the Debian GNU-BSD list and they reported this to the NetBSD people: http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2003/debian-bsd-200307/msg00010.html For those too lazy: "The res_mkquery() and res_send() functions have been deprecated in favour of res_nmkquery() and res_nsend() for long time and are being removed from Glibc for newer ABI versions. This particularly includes x86_64-*, powerpc64-*, *-gnu and *-k*bsd-gnu, but more are to come. libhesiod uses these functions in ./hesiod.c and thus won't build for these systems." I think obsolete (used in the subject of the original email) is too harsh a word for res_mkquery and res_send, but the Solaris manpage I checked does include res_n* . Perhaps someone that knows well the particular RFCs may want to look at this. cheers, Pedro. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
