I did a 'truss' (didn't go to a point where I write a D-Script) and 
suspected that it had something to do with either '/etc/nsswitch.conf' 
or '/va/run/name_service_door'. But I didn't understand what was going 
on exactly. Now I get the point. Thanks for your pointer. I appreciate 
it. I will update about the result once I reach home.

Thanks -
