Error message in syslog

Hi all.

Everytime a client sshs into my system, syslog gives the following message:

sshd[17584]: libc: bad lookup policy for hosts in /etc/nsswitch.conf, using defaults..

Everything seems to be working properly on the system, the clients get in no problem, I can send mail from the system, nslookup finds everything forward and backwards.

It's just that blasted error message...

TIA!

Whoops, here's /etc/nsswitch.conf

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=contine] dns

-rw-r----- 1 root sys 36 Sep 21 2006 /etc/nsswitch.conf

TIA

well if that IS the contents of the nsswitch.conf file, this may be the problem:

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=contine] dns
^^^^^^^
should be continue (missing "u")
