rc.log

Hi,
I have old HP-UX machine (9000/755, 9.5).
When I rebooting the workstation, I get the error message the network is failed and this machine couldn't get "hostname".
I look the "rc.log" file and found something wrong, but I coundn't fix it.
The router(hh13-router) is right address and ping is O.K.
TELNET or FTP is working but "NSLOOKUP" or "NETSTAT" didn't work.
Could you examine the rc.log attached.
Thank you in advance.

Just check a file, /etc/nsswitch.conf, out to see if it has a proper policy.

If nsswitch.conf exists and you don't use DNS server to resolve hostname to ip address, simply move that file to nsswitch.conf.prev and try again.

Sorry that I didn't see attached.

Get hosts file in the /etc to make sure that
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback is there!

Hi,
Run #hostname box_name
and after just #hostname
the box should return the_host_name.
Modify the /etc/nsswitch.conf for hosts put files first
Edit /etc/hosts having the first line the 127.0.0.1 localhost
Any better?

In order to use the nsswitch.conf for 9.05, you need to apply PHNE_4563...
