Ok, a little more playing around indicates that what happened to me was install nss-mdns i586 which happened when I installed chrome. Apparently this is what makes the change to /etc/nsswitch.conf IF I also install nss-mdns.x86_64, everything is fine. If I remove it, and leave the mdns line in /etc/nsswitch.conf most things (ssh, ftp, w3m--though not GUI browsers) break. If I comment out the mdns line in nsswitch.conf, all is well again. If I leave in the line and reinstall nss-mdns.x86_64 everything is fine. So, my guess is, that at least for me, if you don't already have nss-mdns for 64 bit on a 64 bit system, then install something that pulls in the i586 version, like I did with chrome, you will have trouble due to that line in nsswitch.conf This is just a guess though, and I don't have time, at least for the next few days, to really follow it up. If anyone feels like trying, I suspect that's how to duplicate the error. (If you do it, and it breaks yum, commenting out the mdns line in nsswitch.conf should get yum working again.) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: Donuts?
