Somewhat related: has anyone used nss-myhostname to ensure that the local hostname can be looked up even without DNS? Seems like this is the intended use case.
Also, assuming NUT has been built against glibc (more than likely, for most desktop/server Linux distributions), you can use "getent hosts" to see the effect of the nsswitch.conf settings. This is slightly more accurate than using a tool like "dig" or "nslookup" because the latter tools query DNS directly. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
