I'm trying to run TIBCO's Rendezvous product under NetBSD-1.5_ALPHA2 on a
p90 machine. NetBSD is wonderful, however, running their daemon fails -
it complains that gethostbyname() failed.
I've installed suse_base, suse_compat and suse_libc. The product _does_
startup, so I'm assuming linux emul is at least working. Maybe setup
incorrectly, but installed okay.
Pinging my own host name works. 'hostname' returns the proper
stuff. /etc/hosts is groovy. /etc/resolv.conf is set correctly. I even
tried removing dns from /etc/nsswitch.conf to remove improper dns
setup from the equation. No go. Big frowns.
After a fitful night of no inspiration, I tried copying /etc/hosts to
/emul/linux/etc - still no go. Still no other inspiring ideas.
Is there something I've overlooked, perhaps a trick, or am I out of
luck? Can someone point me in the right direction?
