TheSam Varshavchik:> My read of nsswitch.conf's man page is that [NOTFOUND=return] applies to the> previous resolver's query's results only. The /etc/nsswitch.conf file suggests otherwise, it's far from clear: # Example - obey only what nisplus tells us... #services: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files #networks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files #protocols: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files #rpc: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files #ethers: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files #netmasks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files The "obey only" suggests files will not be consulted. The behaviour of Joe's computer seems to indicate that kind of thing, too. Looking in the nsswitch.conf man file, I see: The ACTION value can be one of: return Return a result now. Do not call any further lookup
It's not the "return", but "NOTFOUND" that's the key. The status values are described separately, elsewhere.
An mdns resolver should return either NOTFOUND or SUCCESS for .local lookups, and UNAVAIL for all other lookups.
