/etc/resolv.conf changes not taking effect

I was puzzled to see a Solaris 8 system continue to use old nameservers after making changes to /etc/resolv.conf...'.

The culprit? An rpc.nisd_resolv process.

The system was configured as a NIS master, and ypserv was started with the -d option.

killing the rpc.nisd_resolv process fixed the problem. The ypserv process respawned the process, so there was no need to restart NIS or manually start the process.
