hi,
according to UPDATING:
20000906:
        nsswitch has been imported from NetBSD.  Among other things,
        this means that /etc/host.conf is no longer used.  See
        nsswitch.conf(5) instead.  Note that at boot time rc.network
        will attempt to produce a new nsswitch.conf file for you if you
        don't have one, and you have host.conf.

but /etc/rc.d/nisdomain insists in creating it :-) and I don't even use NIS
