I recently had a problem logging into the admin console because files was listed before dns on the hosts line of my nsswitch.conf file. It was hosts: files dns It now is hosts: dns files I understand that this line specifies the lookup order for host information. What I'd like to know is if this implies that something else is miss-configured on my system, or if this was the root problem? i.e. does FDS simply require that dns be listed first or should it have worked with files first? As far as I know files does a look up in /etc/hosts. My /etc/hosts has a single entry: 192.168.1.115 rheles4rs1.forayadams.foray.com rheles4rs1 Those are the correct IP, FQDN, and server name for my server. Any insight into this would be appreciated.
