- I have a Sun SPARCstation.
- NIS works on it but DNS does not.
- Any names which are in my /etc/hosts table are resolved properly, unfortunately
- any names not in the table cannot be found by my system.
-
- I'm tired of using IP addresses - please help me to get DNS working.
- When I use nslookup, the correct server is identified and an IP
- address is returned (non-authoritatively) for any host name I type.
-
- I do have the resolv.conf file set up to the correct server.
-
- A second problem I have is that I can ftp out of my system but I cannot
- ftp into my system from another host. I get a 'user access denied' after
- I (or anyone else) types in the correct login.
-
- Ftp used to work but not any more!
-
- Can anyone help.
- Much gratitude...
