I have nsswitch.conf in place
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
and removed host.conf and rebooted the
machine. rc.network recreated correctly host.conf from nsswitch.conf
as:
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/host.conf
# Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit
hosts
bind
but the problem is still there... any ideas?
