Subject: Problem with upgrade from 2.0.5 to 2.1.0. Help?

I am having a problem with networking applications after upgrading to
2.1.0 from 2.0.5.

Apparently all users except root get errors when trying to use
applications which use the network (telnet, ftp, netscape, pine, trn,
etc), but specifically when specifying name addresses rather than IP
addresses (ie- myserver.intel.com instead of 127.100.10.1). Root uses
these things OK, but noone else can. When someone tries to use one of
these apps, the following message appears:

Apr 19 07:57:40 myserver /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo

If someone has an idea of what I can do to solve this problem, I would
be grateful for your help.

Thanks
