what's in /etc/resolv.conf ?
A bunch of comments basically saying it is out of date, and then one real line: ### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig! # # Before you change this file manually, consider to define the # static DNS configuration using the following variables in the # /etc/sysconfig/network/config file: # NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST # NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS # NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER # or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting: # NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY='' # # See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation. # # Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but # may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines # only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this # file and in case of a "netconfig update -f" call. # ### Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file! search internal.norcrossgroup.com
what is in /etc/nsswitch.conf ?
This file I don't know much about, but here it is: -------------------------------- # # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be # sorted with the most-used services at the beginning. # # The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an # entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned # up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason # (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the # next entry. # # Legal entries are: # # compat Use compatibility setup # nisplus Use NIS+ (NIS version 3) # nis Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP # dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service) # files Use the local files # [NOTFOUND=return] Stop searching if not found so far # # For more information, please read the nsswitch.conf.5 manual page. # # passwd: files nis # shadow: files nis # group: files nis passwd: compat group: compat hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns networks: files dns services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files nis publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files --------------------------------------------------- Neither file is obviously right or wrong to me. Also, I found 10.0.1.44 (my preferred dns server) down in /etc/sysconfig/network/config. That file is a little large to put in here until requested.
