Brent,
nsswitch.conf has in it the following:
passwd: files
shadow: files
group: files
#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
hosts: files dns
I do not have any domain line in /etc/hosts just 2 nameservers.
/etc/hosts has 127.0.0.1 localhost
I do also have the line with the correct IP for the machine.
IP address space full machine name short name also.
Thanks,
jerry
