Re: Trouble connecting to DB using TCP
Mike , ask the Unix sysadmin to add the service name in the main
NIS service name database AND redistribute this database to your
server. That should solve your problem. Please note that the
Unix getservbyname() function call automatically attempts to connect
to your NIS name server to resolve the service name to service number.
Hope this helps.
