Hi,
or better yet [ ;-) ], change your /etc/nsswitch.conf to look like this:
-------start---------
alexm@quake:/tmp > cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# passwd: db files nis
# shadow: db files nis
# group: db files nis
passwd: compat
group: compat
hosts: files dns <---- here
networks: files dns <---- here
services: db files
protocols: db files
rpc: db files
ethers: db files
netmasks: files
netgroup: files
bootparams: files
automount: files
aliases: files
---------end-----------
then reboot or:
# killall -HUP inetd
-alexm
