A minor correction to Don Coolidge's comment about the availability
of BIND (Domain Name Services) on hp9000 computers, it will be 
available in the soon upcoming 7.0 HP-UX release and is not currently
available for 6.5 (as previously stated).

A last bit of clarification, the 3 part (level) 'nodename' has 
absolutely nothing to do with Domain Name Services, in fact it is
not used by ARPA/Berkeley services and NFS, it is ONLY used by HP's
proprietary services (NFT and RFA). Unfortuately, this has been
a point of confusion for several customers.
