No, /etc/hosts Today, I found a long standing Ubuntu bug about this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/8980 > This is one of my gripes with network manager.

But now, we're thinking about changing nsswitch.conf to "hosts: dns files" - might be a better way in this case. > The usual fix for idmapd is to set the domain in /etc/idmapd.conf. Yes, I know. In fact, during the install phase we commented the "Domain" clause out, to have the system configure it's own FQDN (based on DHCP, mostly). I'm not a big fan of spraying domain name and hostname on every file in /etc if the system can find things out by itself. But I guess I'm being corrected by reality.
