Correct Hosts Policy for /etc/nsswitch.conf

The name service configuration file, /etc/nsswitch.conf, should not be configured to only search the NIS database for host information. The search should include a files option to search in the local files.

For example, the name service ignores information in the local host if the /etc/nsswitch.conf file contains the following entry:

hosts: nis [NOTFOUND=return] dns

For the Netra j server and the NC clients to work correctly, change the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to include one of the following entries:

files nis [NOTFOUND=return] dns

or

nis files dns
