ndb/csquery
> p9

means, give me the formula for dialing net!p9!<no service specified>.  There is no such
formula.

However you could have said

ndb/csquery
> !sys=p9

This does mean the same as the ndb/query if there is nothing like
dns that cs can get added info from.

I have the vmware auth server up. There is no ndb/dns running, since my
!$!@$!@$!@ DSL is down, so no DNS anyway.

As I read the man pages, if there is no dns running, ndb/csquery should
act pretty much like ndb/query, since it falls back to /lib/ndb (or so I
thought)

I do:
ndb/query sys p9

and would expect it to act like:
ndb/csquery
> p9

Is this true or not? they don't act the same at all, so I'm guessing
this is another mis-read on my part.

Does ndb/cs actually just layer over top of ndb/dns, and without ndb/dns
ndb/cs is hosed?

thanks

ron
