Adding host.conf solved the problem! Although I found a reference to nsswitch.conf in the Opera binary, it seems to be ignored: I do have an nsswitch.conf now, generated at boot time from host.conf, but removing the host.conf makes Opera behave the old way. Out of curiosity I looked up /etc/host.conf in the CVS repository and noticed that this file is removed on -current, which is the reason I didn't have it (a boot message is warning now that it is no longer used). Anyway, Opera works now the way I want it. Thanks a lot! Karel.
