hosts resolution on hpux 11i

[Shivkumar]

Hey Guys,

How do find the hosts resolution on hpux 11i ?
I was looking out for nsswitch.conf file but couldn't find it ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Basically In HP-UX host name resolution is done by i) NIS 2) /etc/hosts 3) DNS


In /etc/nsswitch.conf file should have the host resolution

Example is given below

### hosts: files dns nis ######

Above example will look first 1)/etc/hosts for the name resolution & DNS & NIS

hi,

that file is not created by default, copy /etc/nsswitch.hp_defaults as /etc/nsswitch.conf and modify according to your preferences.

# cp -p /etc/nsswitch.hp_defaults /etc/nsswitch.conf

regards.
