Verifying the nsswitch.conf File Contents

The nsswitch.conf file is the configuration file for name service lookups. This file determines which databases within the Solaris environment to use for name service lookups and in what order to consult the databases.

For some data services, direct "group" lookups to "files" first. Change the "group" line in the file so that the "files" entry is listed first. To determine whether you need to change the "group" line, see the chapter for the data service you are configuring.

For additional information on how to configure nsswitch.conf for the Sun Cluster environment, see the planning chapter in the Sun Cluster 3.0 Installation Guide.
