Early this week (too early on Monday, as it turns out), I posted the
following question to sun-managers:
>I just obtained libc_resolv.so.sun3 from uunet and am attempting to

A large number of you responded, mostly asking if I had set up
/etc/resolv.conf. (I had.) wack@csmes.ncsl.nist.gov (John Wack)
sent me a lengthy document from Sun's Greg Earle, which contains
a good deal of helpful information; I'll be glad to send it to
anyone who wants it.
Thanks to all who responded. Apparently, my problem was that it
was Monday. :-) Tuesday everything worked just fine. I have
no idea what the difference was.
Now, however, another problem has surfaced. I have a diskless
Sun3/50 which boots from the diskfull 3/60 server where the shared
libary was installed and which also NFS mounts everything (including
/usr/lib and the shared library) from the server; both machines run
SunOS 4.0.1. Even after running ldconfig on the 3/50 client, it can't
be telnetted/rlogged into from anywhere, inlcuding from the server.
The client's console is displaying the following messages:
Cannot register services: RPC: timed out
rpc.statd unable to register (SM_PROG, SM_VERS, udp).
Help, please. Thank you. Please note the address *BELOW*
