Does anybody know where I can get the library or fix to resolve names using just
the resolver and NOT using NIS (..used to be Yellow Pages...) on Sun/BSD
platforms....

Apparently, names resolution requires NIS to be running...I would like to have
name resolution functional without using Suns' brain dead NIS stuff....

thanks in advance....
