I'm working through 4.3BSD setup and configuration and came across this:
"There is no equivalent service for network names yet. The full host and network name
databases are normally derived from a file retrieved from Internet Network Information
Center at SRI... use gettable to retrieve the NIC host database and htable to convert it
to the format used by the libraries."
Does this mean I should expect functionality like resolv.conf and ping yahoo.com not to
work in 4.3, or by some miracle is gettable still a functional system?
