I've just set up a name server (named), and it's working pretty good.  But
how do I get a Sun to use it?  I can set an Ultrix machine to query the
name server for hostnames (e.g. rlogin, ping).  This is done by editing
the file /etc/svc.conf.  What is the SunOS equivelent?  The SunOS manual
is very good at explaining how to set up name server, but not how to use
it (except nslookup).
