Hi all,
I've recently changed this line from nsswitch.conf from:
hosts: files nisplus nis dns
to:
hosts: files dns
according to the fact that I don't run NIS at all. The man page for this
file says: "Within each process that uses nsswitch.conf, the entire file
is read only once; if the file is later changed, the process will continue
using the old configuration." This is exactly what the system seems to de
doing, and I cannot figure out how to get it to start using the new config:
[root@mendoza /root]# host -v www.redhat.com
Trying null domain
rcode = 0 (Success), ancount=0

[root@mendoza /root]#
It seems to me that it's still trying the old config, isn't it? I know that
a radical way to accomplish this is to reboot the system, but this isn't
applicable in this case.
Thank you all in advance for any help.
best regards,
cl.
