gethostbyname and nameserver resolution

[Joe Garbarino]

I don't know what version of the OS you're running, but I am running SunOS
V4.0.1 and am accessing the nameserver.  It required me to edit the
Makefile for the yp (/var/yp/Makefile) and change the makedbm to makedbm
-b for the hosts database.

The nameserver was also available in V3.5.  To use it required the yp
server be started up as ypserv -i

Unfortunately, this information is not clearly documented for V4.0 (under
the makedbm command switch -b), and not at all for V3.5.
