The shell is tcsh.
I can do an nslookup and find organa.
My /usr/local directory points to a space on another server. I wanted to
keep it on my server(organa), which is why I used a subdirectory of
/export. Besides, I don't have permission to write to /usr/local.
My OS is Solaris2.7 /i386.
Thanks for your quick response.
