For example, if you need to use NIS, or LDAP, then previously you probably copied in the nsswitch.nis or nsswitch.ldap files. If you copy in the nsswtich.dns file now, you'll undo the changes copying one of those made. Since DNS only really applies to hosts (these days) then it's probably easier to edit the nsswitch.conf, and add 'dns' to the 'hosts' (and possibly the 'ipnodes') lines. If you want to see the differences between the sample files, or between your current files and a sample one, then 'diff' will help you alot. -Kyle > Thanks > > Guy > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > networking-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
