I just got through installing 1.0 on a machine at work, and wanted
to SUP right up to -current. I grabbed SUP from the binary dir on
ftp.netbsd.org (pub/sup/binary, or something). When I run SUP, I
get a "Can't find my host entry" message and SUP quits (the message
is given after myhost() returns NULL -- myhost tries to get local
hostname).
Re-building SUP worked, but I'm sending this out to find out why
this happened... I've never seen this on my home machine (tracking
-current since 0.9A and using the same SUP binary), or the other
boxes I've installed at work/for friends/etc - most of those were
1.0_BETA boxes.
Hostname seems to find my name OK, and ping et al. can resolve my
address (the box is not yet DNS registered, it's still using the
hosts file for its' name). COuld this be caused by changes in the
resolv.conf file format in the eons since the SUP binary on sun-lamp
has been build? Clues appreciated...

PS: Here's my resolv.conf:
domain banyan.com
lookup file, bind
nameserver 131.100.110.1
