We just updated a few Alphas to Digital Unix 4.0B and ran into
a problem, mounting nfs filesystems, when the file server hostname
is not in the /etc/hosts file. We get the error:
Can't get net id for host
The /etc/svc.conf file has hosts=local,bind,yp
Is it a rule in Digital Unix 4.0 that the remote hostname has to be in
the hosts file, for nfs mounts?
We are using a load balancing name server for some of our
filesystem servers and so the host name used is not in the /etc/hosts file.
This worked fine with Digital Unix 3.2g.
