Example: 127.0.0.1 google.com The way I understand it is that by typing google.com in a web browser it= =20 should result in the local page being displayed. It instead goes to the= =20 proper Google page. =20 `ping google.com' actually pings 127.0.0.1 but `host google' returns the= =20 actual IP addresses for google. =20 /etc/nsswitch.conf has `hosts: files dns' and host.conf has `hosts\n dns' Any idea why the system calls are not honouring /etc/hosts? Regards David * David Naylor <naylor.b.david@gmail.com> * 0xFF6916B2 =09 man host shows that the host utility is specifically for DNS-resolved looku= ps and looks at /etc/resolv.conf, not /etc/hosts Regards, Mike --PGP_Universal_942AC050_94E5F121_C76402FC_ECD355DE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="PGP.sig" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PGP.sig" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 9.9.0 (Build 397) iQEVAwUBSMmkgfTXQhZ+XcVAAQglDgf8DaYjyQrmxJmKg7KibsorMfm82IKJ4e1s cD/bI2pWRM5SKKutgdAfQHbZp5IjgkjiMtkS589GfYAm2LRdTMoN9uAtk6xzRBrj 8YZdLZsJBFsX+84oQ6n2fPTIBWsqYSq6Mwod/X7f+1bXSnM/WnqaMtgBz6F4dd7F uc4fDzlW1gKkNLvVPXSLF4XeNsj4k+8alNJ5IAjEO9F72toPIBxubVhPtBQEP9AO wK0cQF80qe7Ntuctm55ueY3sm0/NrlbX6cWIiDcQX43+T1JiXUPhJmYaIAn5q4yp jdOJzeBbrxgJ+Y0JF65ZXG4YYKSNHtst0a9W/Xf7AmCZ9hmJ37Ifjg== =9HvA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PGP_Universal_942AC050_94E5F121_C76402FC_ECD355DE--
