Subject: Make check coming up with Rsolve error under sloaris 2.5.1

Data Prompt, Inc.

Hello Sir/madam,

I recently assigned at my work to compile Kerberos Authentication
software on our Sun-Enterprise3000, which is using Solaris 2.5.1 to serve as
Kerberos Authentication Server for our Programmers to log into through our
Xyplex PPP connetion.

So far I had been able to configure and run the make successfully. But
when I run make check, it comes up with following errors:

Resolve library did not return a fully qualified domain name
You may have to reconfigure the kerberos distribution to select a
different set of libraries using --with-netlib[=libs]

Which I can not understand. According to your documentation, this problem I
will only have with Solaris 2.0-2.3. Could you please help me out. I would
really appreciate it.

Solaris 2.4 and higher *can* be configured to do the right thing with
your resolver, but you have to disable yellow pages or NIS, since Sun
really badly broke gethostbyname() if you're using YP or NIS.

Basically, Kerberos relies on the DNS concept "Fully Qualified Canonical
Name". A fully qualified canonical name might be
"dprmp4.dataprompt.com". Or "tsx-11.mit.edu" or "www.microsoft.com".

The problem is that gethostbyname isn't returning a fully qualified
hostname like "dprmp4.dataprompt.com"; instead, it's returning "dprmp4"
instead. This can be caused by a number of things; a broken YP/NIS
setup; the need to fix your /etc/hosts file (See the "Getting DNS
Information Correct" in the Kerberos 5 System Administrator's Guide.)

I hope this help explains what's going on. Good luck!!
