In the beginning there was nothing. Then Gordon W. Ross said:

>> `rpc.bootparamd -d` on the 3/60 is 'getclntent failed'. Any ideas?

[actually bp_getclntent failed, same effect. :(]

I _think_ it can, because if I do something like a netstat without -n
it shows the correct hostname. The output from nslookup loods odd,
though.

msanders@euphoria:~> nslookup 205.166.119.2
Server:  euphoria.confusion.net
Address:  205.166.119.3

Name:    [205.166.119.2]
Address:  205.166.119.2

It does that no matter what the server is.

Here's /etc/bootparams:
dystopia        root=euphoria:/export/dystopia \
        swap=euphoria:/export/dystopia 

Straight from the example in the man page...
