UPDATE
Apparently name resolving works but nslookup defaults to using
resolv.conf.  Is there any way to change this behavior so that nslookup
works without having to change the config on each and every box?
Thanks in advance.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.  I was under the impression that the
NIS server provided name lookup services.  And that the NIS server was
the only hosts that needed a resolv.conf in /etc, all NIS clients would
check with the NIS server for ALL names.
I am getting errors with nslookup; "*** Can't find server name for
address 127.0.0.1: Unspecified error
*** Default servers are not available"
when I don't have a resolv.conf but I am using nsswitch.nis and the NIS
server has no problems.
Please help
Dave Baldwin
