My nnswitch.conf file got stepped on by something which substituted nsswitch.files during a reboot when I took the machine down to remove the 5 TB disk. This was after I had fixed the problem once already. Fortunately, I immediately recognized what had happened. I still don't no why though.

Hi all,

this sounds like nwam is enabled... That explains replacing of nsswitch.conf (I had problems in the past - you might face it, because you use old hipster, so disabled nwam and use static IP now).

Maybe, to replace nwam with static ip:

HTH
Regards.

I'd been using a Linksys WRT54GL  and DD-WRT for 12 years without any problems. 
 A few days ago I started having issues of  not being able to properly making 
connections.  It might work fine for an hour and then web sites would time out 
on access attempts.

I have replaced it with a Linksys N600. That is working fine from Debian 9.3, 
but not with Hipster 2017.10.

If I do "nslookup login.yahoo.com" I get the usual response from the N600.  But if I attempt 
"traceroute login.yahoo.com" I get an "unknown host login.yahoo.com" .

"traceroute <ip addr>" works as expected.

I'm *very* rusty at this as I set everything up many years ago. I suspect the 
issue is a conflict with nwamd.  For Hipster I configured  a static LAN ip 
address in the traditional fashion.

I have the following settings:

/etc/hostname.<nic>
<static 192.168 ip addr>

/etc/defaultrouter
gateway <gateway 192.168. ip addr>

/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver <gateway 192.168  ip addr>

As an experiment I removed all those but nothing changed.

What things might I have misconfigured to create these symptoms?



You do not mention /etc/nsswitch.conf. I think, that too, is traditional way to 
break things;)

I am *not* a fan of "auto magical" anything.  I've been administering my own 
SunOS systems for 30 years starting with a 3/60 and 4.1.1a.  So it's natural for me to 
continue using the pattern set by that.
