Actually, I'm not sure. I've always edited nsswitch.conf to get it to do what I want, with good results. I see with strace that when I ping <somehost>, both nsswitch.conf and host.conf are opened. The man pages don't reveal anything about their relationship, so I guess I'll have to take a look at the glibc sources tonight. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
