Hi,
I have had the same behaviour.

Recently one of our local user has found that he was unable to use
hosts(5) to override "localhost" lookup that happens in DNS, while doing
rpc_clnt_create. A preliminary investigate of this seems to be related
to nsdispatch, by replacing:
hosts: files dns
With:
hosts: files
in /etc/nsswitch.conf, it does not query DNS.
Before diving into NSSWITCH code, I'd like to know if this is expected
behavior? Say, when we have a match in hosts(5), should we even bother
to query DNS if configured hosts: files dns?
After getting a hint on the list, I found out that some strange
characters in hosts made the file useless. After retyping hosts, hosts
was accepted again.
I was not able to find out what character it was. I expected CR, but it
was not the case.
Just retype or copy it from a working system.
Erich
