Hi,

	Netscape 4.04/solaris running under compat_svr4 in NetBSD 1.3/sparc fails to 
do DNS lookups. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I set up the files in 
/emul/svr4 as instructed in the compat_svr4 (8) man page. I can acces hosts 
via numeric IP, or when they have an entry in /emul/svr4/etc/hosts.

#/emul/svr4/etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:	files dns
('hosts:	dns files' will not work either..)

#/emul/svr4/etc/hosts
209.21.136.5	www.cybercom.net

#/emul/svr4/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver	127.0.0.1
nameserver	209.21.136.4

I don't know of any fix for this, and would appreciate it if someone could 
point one out. Thanks!
