Part V Active Directory Naming Service
The following sections describe how you can customize the client environment.
You can change any of the services, but be careful, because if the data is not populated on the server for the service specified, things will stop working. Also, in some cases files may not be set up by default.
You can modify your /etc/nsswitch.conf file to customize where each service gets its information. The default settings are stored in /etc/nsswitch.ldap and ldapclient uses this file to create your /etc/nsswitch.conf file when the client is initialized.
If you want to enable DNS by setting up a /etc/resolv.conf file, add DNS to your hosts lines as shown below.
hosts: ldap dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
The recommended configuration is:
hosts: files dns
ipnodes: files dns
If per-user authentication is used, the sasl/GSSAPI and Kerberos mechanisms expect the dns naming service to be configured and enabled. See the chapters on DNS in this administration guide for further details.
