named problems

[Eric A. Pearce]

   I'm trying to run a secondary name server on an Iris 4D running 3.2.1
   My /usr/etc/resolv.conf looks like this:

   domain bu.edu
   nameserver 127.0.0.1
   nameserver 128.197.2.6
   nameserver 128.197.21.21

   and /usr/etc/named.d/named.boot:

   cache     .                     /usr/etc/named.d/named.ca
   secondary BU.EDU                128.197.2.6 128.197.21.21

   When I fire up named, nslookup seems to work fine.  I have sendmail 5.61 
   running and it finds MX records with no problem.

   The problems start on the console - I can't open any windows, they fail with
   "grcond[2736]: CIO: getsocketpeername: Can't find name for 127.0.0.1 -- 
   connection refused"

   Also, when booting it rejects all nfs mounts with "host unknown".
   The host it tries to mount IS in /etc/hosts (and in the nameserver)

   (I have not tried putting 127.0.0.1 in the nameserver or trying hostnames
   in uppercase)
