Just to clear this up since this is an old message, I got recfind working
again thanks to some pointers from list members. Mainly, I believe the
culprit was the nsswitch.conf. Our NIS+ server had moved while this server
was running and after we rebooted the server everything went haywire. Works
ok now.
