Hi back. That did it. Thanks a bunch!
Now the problem is certainly resolved but why is the error reporting so wrong (EAI_SYSTEM points to errno which does not contain any error information) and why is the fallback not working? Is that related to the [NOTFOUND=return] directive? Anyway, thanks for your input, Hagen. >> /etc/nsswitch >> === >> # /etc/nsswitch.conf >> # >> # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. >> # If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try: >> # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file. >> >> passwd: nis compat >> group: nis compat >> shadow: nis compat >> >> hosts: nis files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 >> networks: files >> >> protocols: db files >> services: db files >> ethers: db files >> rpc: db files >> >> netgroup: nis >> === >> >> Hm, I don't have a NIS configuration here ... only thinking alound. > > The strace shows that the "System error" comes from the nis NSS library. > This is the first one called to resolv hosts type records.
