Yes, it did, thank you. I'm now running the following:
- Solaris 2.6 libs in /emul/...
- Navigator 4.79 (Solaris 2.5.1) from pkgsrc
I no longer see the DNS problem, though i do have trouble with the
display. Navigator complains that it cannot open display ":0.0". If i
use "hostname:0.0" it's fine, which is a pretty trivial work around,
though i'm unsure if it has any significant performance issues. If i
manage to find my Solaris 2.5.1 media, i'll try those libs next.
