Why in the world would networking NOT check /etc/hosts?
Because of NSS. /etc/nsswitch.conf decides which resources are used to resolve names and in which order. If the system is configured to not consult /etc/hosts it won't. I will by default use it. See "info '(libc.info.gz)NSS Basics' " for a description of NSS. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
