2.4amiga resolv.conf hints

[Ulrich Flegel <Ulrich.Flegel@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE>]

Hi there,

whoever is wondering why his machine takes way to long coming up while
using

yp bind files

in resolv.conf while having no dns server around:

normally there  shouldn't be any information needed  for booting after
plain  installation, which  is not  already  in the  /etc files.   But
"files"  in  resolv.conf  specifically  only means  /etc/hosts.   When
configuring the  multicast address (while booting) a  name is resolved
which is not in /etc/hosts but /etc/networks. If you put the multicast
base network address also in /etc/hosts, the timeouts will go away.

Hope this helps,
 Ulrich
