I looked into this and it looks like dracauth passes the hostname to RPC's clnt_create. For Linux, this is in glibc, and I didn't chase it down into that. Could be that glibc uses the nss stuff to search /etc/hosts before DNS, but Solaris RPC just looks at DNS. >drac cf rules: see drac instructions.

So I follow the directions. The >directions didn't quite work, so I posted the workaround. When Red Hat packages sendmail 8.12, I expect I'll have to face this myself. I'll report back what I find. (Red Hat is still packaging 8.11.6.) >The nsl library is native to solaris 8 as I've installed it -- but popper >configure doesn't know to include it unless you tell him to.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. nsl is part of the glibc package on Linux, and I don't see it referenced in any qpopper Makefiles, so I don't know why the Linux system picks it up automatically and Solaris doesn't. It *is* mentioned in the qpopper configure script, but I don't know why. I don't see the tested API used in any C or H files.
