/net/ndb is used by cs and dns before /lib/ndb.  If you have an entry for
the network in /lib/ndb/local with the smtp=, it will be found.

Alternatively, you can do this in termrc or cpurc:

	echo '	smtp=....' >> /net/ndb

after you do the ipconfig.

I'm getting my IP setup from a (non-Plan 9) DHCP server.
It doesn't contain the name of the mail server.
Hence, /net/ndb doesn't contain it.
Hence, mail isn't working.
Setting smtp=... in /lib/ndb/local has no effect.

Suggestions?
Also, how does /net/ndb relate to /lib/ndb?
