I've never had to mess around removing mdns from nsswitch.conf. And I don't recall having to do anything *like* that since I stopped using Samba years ago (removing lmhosts from the name resolution equation). I run a local DNS server, that's integrated with my DHCP server (in that new hosts assigned an IP by the DHCP server get their data incorporated into the DNS server, so all clients on my LAN use my DNS server for *all* name resolution, local and WWW). I don't make use of the hosts file. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 (always current details of the computer that I'm writing this email on) Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
