When trying to use the msend utility on Fedora 28 or higher, it says libnsl.so.1 => not found.

Looking at the libraries needed it seems libnsl.so.1 is not present:
ldd /srv/bin/msend 
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcbf988000) 
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fdf2eb64000) 
libnsl.so.1 => not found 
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fdf2eb5e000) 
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fdf2e998000)
From Ferdoa 28 onwards, the libnsl package was no longer included by default, only libnsl2
Install libnsl onto Fedora 28 or higher, or alternatively try soft linking the libnsl2 library to libnsl as there should be backwards compatibility.

If the soft link does not work then install libnsl.
