I thought I read somewhere that you need to make an /etc/svc.conf file. Tru64(Digital UNIX, OSF/1)'s resolver looks for /etc/svc.conf. I could be way off here, so correct me if I am. ...Maybe svc.conf should contain something like: aliases=local group=local hosts=local,bind,yp netgroup=local networks=local passwd=local protocols=local rpc=local services=local where the hosts line is the important one.
