>Description:
"make check" fails:

making check in tests/resolve...
make[2]: Entering directory `/nfs/amanda/local/kerberos5/krb5-1.0.5/solaris2.5/tests/resolve'
./resolve
Hostname: nserv.cis.brown.edu
Host address: 128.148.176.46
FQDN: nserv

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]
make[2]: *** [check] Error 3


In reality, the problem is not with "--with-netlib" at all, but
rather with the fact that the "/etc/hosts" file is set up with the
short hostname first:

128.148.176.46 nserv nserv.cis.brown.edu loghost

and that the "nsswitch.conf" file is setup as:

hosts: files dns

I realize that this may be due solely to our local setup, but
others may run into it.

Simply changing "/etc/hosts" to:

128.148.176.46 nserv.cis.brown.edu nserv loghost

solves the problem and "make check" completes successfully.

>How-To-Repeat:
Setup as stated above.

>Fix:
1) Change output to also state that the problem may be due to the
setup of the "/etc/hosts" & "/etc/nsswitch.conf" files.
2) Possible fix - change resolve check to use DNS only?
3) Possible fix - change resolve check to handle multiple
returned names?
