/etc/nsswitch.conf for both files and DNS resolution

[Alzhy]

On my HP Machines, localhost and other /etc/hosts entries do not resolve if my NSS is:

hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=return] files

But works if:

hosts: files dns

The former works on Solaris and other Unices... What could be wrong?

It should be something like :
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=Continue] files

(continue does next choice, return stops search)

Hope this helps,

Fred

Hi,
try to recreate it from SAM
--> Network and ..
--> NameServiceSwitch
on host
actions--> config NameServiceSwitch
and choose your policy.

p.s. it require a reboot!!
