A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

> Solaris 1.1.2 is *not* ancient!  Take that back! :-)

When it includes sendmail 5 and a C compiler that doesn't understand ANSI
C I'll call it ancient :)

It's actually not so bad, once I got some modern software on it :)

Yes, I found that in a FAQ, but the fix (install NIS) didn't help me any,
and there weren't any directions on how to fix the libraries.

I eventually fixed it - during the install instructions for BIND4, I ran
across instructions on how to replace resolver in the Sun-supplied shared
and static libraries with the BIND4 resolver.
