My SunOS 5.9 man page suggest -lsocket -lnsl is the appropriate
switches:

     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsocket -lnsl [ library ... ]

Is this different in 5.7?

I'll try to write a good autoconf test for this.  It seems it is
slightly more complicated than merely AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl, inet_ntop,,,
-lsocket).  Or maybe it isn't..

Thanks,
