Originally, no, nobody touched either nsswitch.conf or resolv.conf. This
problem started without any modification to those files. In the course of
trying to debug the problem, I did modify resolve.conf, but it neither helps nor
harms, and was only done after the difficulties first manifested. nsswitch.conf
has not been changed in 10 months.
The only other recent system change was the installation of OpenSSH, for which
OpenSSL is a prereq. Could that in any way affect Netscape? I didn't consider
it at first since it's only supposed to be relevant for rsh, rlogin, and similar
functions, none of which Netscape is doing. Is this a logical conclusion? I
couldn't find a way of uninstalling OpenSSH any more than I could of
uninstalling OpenSSL.
Thoughts?

Did anyone touch your /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/nsswitch.conf files?
Netscape has completely wierd ways of doing DNS resolution. I can't
imagine that this is related to OpenSSL in any way though.
