Hi David,
thanks for your reply... but I already tried out all possible
combinations in resolv.conf (at present I use both domain and search
directive). Still the same problem.
And still the big mysterium: gethostbyname("maschine") seems not to
query the /etc/hosts first (although /etc/host.conf contains "hosts"
before "bind")...
