Now I see what you're up to. You've changed the LHS from ".ns" to "".
The code expects something to be there, and that's why you need the
extra conditional.
I can think of one reason why changing this is not a good idea: if you
ever want to get interrealm hesiod working, the realms that talk to
each other need to have the same LHS. For instance, this gives info
in the local (athena) realm:
gulch>hesinfo marc passwd
marc:*:8888:101:Marc Horowitz,Marc,1 Main Street:/mit/marc:/afs/sipb/project/tcsh/betatcsh
and this gives info the the gza.com realm:
gulch>hesinfo marc@gza.com passwd
marc:*:8888:101:Marc Horowitz:/home/marc:/usr/local/bin/tcsh
We never figured that anyone would change it.
