Re: [gentoo-user] Name Resolution Problem

Do you know what may have removed that file? If you have gentoolkit installed then you can do "equery check glibc" to see if any other files are missing. Zac W.Kenworthy wrote: nsswitch.conf has a number of other entries in it which if missing may give rise to similar weird problems like this

Re: [gentoo-user] Name Resolution Problem

check 'man dhcpcd' to check the arguments to pass to it (via /etc/conf.d/net) to prevent it overwriting local config files like /etc/resolv.conf. Are you using a local bind server? recent updates to localhost processing in a recent gentoo update did the same for me with clients on other machines
