Recently I upgraded a RedHat 4.2 system, kernel 2.0.33, to use bind-4.9.6-1.1 (RedHat's update in response to the recent CERT announcement) and now I when I run a program such as telnet or lynx it cannot resolve the hostname, but if I do a nslookup it finds the file name. Using strace on telnet I noticed that looks for a non-existent file called "/etc/nsswitch.conf" and then "/etc/hosts" and then reports the error that it cannot find the host(name). I also installed the bind-utils rpm and libc for RedHat 4.2 at the same time. I don't see anything obvious in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog that indicates an error with bind. host.conf: order hosts, bind multi on -Thanks, mctaylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
