I have nsswitch.conf in place

-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:  files dns

and removed host.conf and rebooted the
machine. rc.network recreated correctly host.conf from nsswitch.conf
as:

-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/host.conf
# Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit
hosts
bind


but the problem is still there... any ideas?

Hi there.


Hi,

5.0-RELEASE != current, you would better have asked this on -questions.
To answer your question:

man nsswitch.conf

cheers,
Ruben


it seems that my 5.0-Release box,
when trying to resolve a name to the associated IP it only
tries the DNSs listed in resolv.conf, and never tries /etc/hosts

Also.. where is /etc/host.conf gone? I tried to create one, but it
doesn't help.

Here is some more info on my configuration:
(I rebuilt the kernel but this behaviour was present in GENERIC, too)

-bash-2.05b# host localhost.noonlights.net

-bash-2.05b# nslookup localhost

Non-authoritative answer:

-bash-2.05b# host jupiter Host not found.

-bash-2.05b# host jupiter.noonlights.net
Host not found.

What's wrong?

Thank you.
