And just to clarify, the nsswitch.conf needs to be set up for this. # cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep 'hosts:' hosts: files dns myhostname Note that it says "files" (/etc/hosts) then "dns". # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.3 (Ootpa) # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 192.168.122.114 ipa.example.com # getent hosts 192.168.122.114 192.168.122.114 ipa.example.com Also, I've installed IPA using the "hosts" mechanism before.
