Regarding "hosts", you could configure the PCs to use a Domain Name Server or you could use IP addresses rather than host names in setnet. For "services" you could use a services number rather than a service name, which does not require an entry in "services". >My next discovery was that there also had to be an entry for >my machine in the /etc/hosts.equiv file on the UNIX box. I've no solution for this one, but it's on the host and so, I guess, is less of an issue.
