[nssldap] getnetbyaddr not working with LDAP

[Eric Ritchie <eritchie [at] interactivebrokers.com>]

I'm converting our RedHat 4.0 systems from NIS to LDAP. I have found
that getnetbyaddr doesn't work under LDAP. It works for NIS or if I add
the entry to the local /etc/networks file.

The following perl code shows the problem:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use Socket;
$n = getnetbyname ( "nasd" );
$name = getnetbyaddr($n, AF_INET);
print "$name\n";
exit 0;

Host running NIS:
# ./eric.pl
nasd

Host running LDAP:
# ./eric.pl
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./eric.pl line 9.

The getnetbyname call works and I can print out the network IP. Can
anyone help with this? Is there a way to get the query nss_ldap issues when 
getnetbyaddr is called?

Thanks
