/etc/nsswitch.conf was the culprit. grep hosts: /etc/nsswitch.conf Returned only `files' so setting hosts: files dns Seems to have resolved the problem. Turned out I was confusing myself by having an xterm open to a remote osol host.. and was getting info from both the local host and remote host. That is, grepping remote hosts nsswitch.conf returned. hosts: files dns And I'm taking it to be the localhosts nsswitch.conf But all the while the localhosts nsswitch.conf has only: hosts: files .. Thanks. _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
