Here's the relevant section of my /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:     files nisplus nis
shadow:     files nisplus nis
group:      files nisplus nis
 
#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
hosts:      files nisplus nis dns
                                         

Now, I'm not running NIS... at least I don't *think* so....
At least not under that name...
        Thanks...
        John
