Hi,

I posted the part below to -hackers but nobody answered me. Maybe this
is the right place, since the problem occurs on 2.2-STABLE...

Thanks very much

-------------------- post to -hackers ----------------------

Hi,

when running "ypserv -n" on 2.2-STABLE it is no longer possible for ypserv
to resolve hostnames which are not fully qualified. This is due to a change in
lib/libc/net/gethostbydns.c which now returns as h_errno NO_RECOVERY instead
of TRY_AGAIN. I have implemented an additional debugline which shows this effect
in usr.sbin/ypserv/yp_dnslookup.c.

I don't know where it should be changed; in gethostbydns.c or in yp_dnslookup.c...

Thanks

	-Andre
