Sorry to post again even though I've been told I should post to -questions.. but I believe this is a bug.
Here is some more info on my configuration: (I rebuilt the kernel but this behaviour was present in GENERIC, too)
-bash-2.05b# uname -a
FreeBSD jupiter.noonlights.net 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Wed May 28 11:50:07 CEST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/JUPITER01 i386
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/rc.conf keymap="swissgerman.iso.acc" moused_enable="YES" saver="warp" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="jupiter.noonlights.net" ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" sendmail_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES"
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.noonlights.net localhost 192.168.1.5 jupiter.noonlights.net jupiter 192.168.1.5 jupiter.noonlights.net. 193.5.56.6 www.freebsd.org myfreebsd
note the wrong IP for www.freebsd.org!! just for testing purposes!
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/host.conf hosts bind
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/resolv.conf domain noonlights.net nameserver 195.190.166.166 nameserver 195.190.166.167
-bash-2.05b# host localhost Host not found.
-bash-2.05b# host localhost.noonlights.net Host not found.
-bash-2.05b# nslookup localhost Server: ns1.ticino.com Address: 195.190.166.166
Non-authoritative answer: Name: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1
-bash-2.05b# host jupiter.noonlights.net Host not found.
-bash-2.05b# hostname jupiter.noonlights.net
-bash-2.05b# host www.freebsd.org www.freebsd.org has address 216.136.204.117 www.freebsd.org mail is handled (pri=10) by mx1.freebsd.org
See? /etc/hosts is completely ignored..
If I missed something, I'd be grateful if somebody could let me know... for I'm new to /etc/nsswitch.conf.. but after reading the manpage I have no clue left.. just an idea that is a bug..
Thank you.
