I'm using Red Hat 4.0, and I'm having ftp and telnet problems.  When I 
try to use a command such as ftp hostname.edu or telnet hostname, I get a 
"host name lookup failure" as an ordinary user.  But, as root, I can do 
ftp hostname or telnet hostname.  What should I change?
Any help is appreciated.
