Thought I would pass this along since I didn't see this issue
addressed in any of the existing archives/docs/lwq/etc...
For everyones benefit, having spent the better part of a day
trying to find out why my QMAIL installation was not working, only
reporting the dreaded "CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)"
error, turns out the 'real' problem was permissions on /etc/resolv.conf
was too restrictive:
# ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
-r--r----- 1 root other 93 Feb 6 15:40 /etc/resolv.conf
Changing that to a world readable file caused the errors to go away.
Note: all other SOLARIS tools (ping, nslookup, sendmail, telnet, ftp, etc...)
worked fine..
Environment: Solaris 8 on a SPARC
--curtis
