Name Services

When adding a network computer using the Netra j 2.0 administration interface, Netra j adds the host name and dhcp information to the local system. 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 JavaStation 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
