Hi,
Interesting, this natural language vs. programming language discussion...
I'm very much a language person, my mother language is Dutch and when I was
growing up I learned English and German from tv (we were very close to the
German border, and English shows and movies were subtitled) and a

Hello there,
I know this is a Linux discussion list, but I thought maybe someone would
have an idea about my problem...
I've just installed Solaris 8 on a Sun system, plus Gnome, etc. The
problem is that some things just won't resolve names. I have pointed

Well, it seems that I've fixed it - a reboot because of a power failure
seems to have magically made things work (although we did try rebooting
earlier...) and no idea still of why this would happen :)
I think we'll just have to leave the whys and wherefores of this to
obscurity :)

Hi Catie,
If this problem should occur again, I would suggest to you to try a pkill
of nscd ( the naming service caching daemon). It turns out that this
daemon is 99% part of the problem. With any luck Sun will either drop it
or fix it.
