Re: NIS users unknown for procmail?

(b) When procmail was compiled, did it link against a broken libsocket
    and libnsl?  If the procmail initmake script put those on the link
    line then do a "make realclean", edit Makefile and remove -lsocket
    and -lnsl from SEARCHLIBS, and the rebuild procmail and give it
    another shot.

Hi Philip, thanks a lot, this (b) hack (: has solved the problem. What do
you mean by "broken" libsocket? Does /usr/lib/libsocket.so contain bugs on
my IRIX?

 Not exactly bugs, but, as Philip wrote, it is broken. Eg., the version
 of gethostbyname() in libnsl does not use NIS, whereas the version
 in libc does. IIRC.
