        Greetings,
        Thanks to Sean Watson for suggesting the following. We had not
changed /etc/svc.conf nor /etc/resolv.conf for over 5 years, yet the
problem was in /etc/svc.conf. Perhaps the campus folks changed their
version of named or something. At any rate, things are running smoothly
again. Also thanks to everyone who contributed. You folks are wonderful,
especially for us folks with little or no vendor hardware/software
support.
        Again thanks,
        doug

Doug,
        Check /etc/svc.conf and see if you have "bind" in any fields
(particularly passwd, but you needn't worry so much about hosts).  If
this isn't intentional, take it out; if it you want to run Hesiod/BIND,
make sure that Kerberos is set up right (and machine times are synced,
etc).  We had similar problems and eventually just gave up on Hesiod.

                        Sean
