I'm having a problem where users other than root are unable to resolve the
local machine's address, e.g.

  ~: nslookup yahoo.com
  Server:  federation.addy.com
  Address:  0.0.0.0
  
  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name:    yahoo.com
  Address:  204.71.177.35 

I'm guessing it's a permission problem, but I have no idea what file.
