configure script with --with-drac option fails on Solaris 8:
zsh% env LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" ./configure
--with-drac=/usr/local/lib
...
checking for dracauth in -ldrac... no
Can't use DRAC: dracauth not found in -ldrac

libnsl(3LIB) is also need to be linked with libdrac on Solaris 8.
It is also true of IRIX.
solution:
1. install shared library libdrac.so linked with libnsl
2. modify configure.in/configure
Which is the best way?
