Hi all,

I've recently changed this line from nsswitch.conf from:
    hosts:      files nisplus nis dns
to:
    hosts:      files dns

according to the fact that I don't run NIS at all. The man page for this 
file says: "Within  each  process that uses nsswitch.conf, the entire file 
is read only once; if the file is later changed, the process will continue 
using the old configuration." This is exactly what the system seems to de 
doing, and I cannot figure out how to get it to start using the new config:

[root@mendoza /root]# host -v www.redhat.com
Trying null domain
rcode = 0 (Success), ancount=0

[root@mendoza /root]#

It seems to me that it's still trying the old config, isn't it? I know that 
a radical way to accomplish this is to reboot the system, but this isn't 
applicable in this case.

Thank you all in advance for any help.

best regards,
cl.
