I have modified /etc/hosts file with IP address and hostname entries. However, host command is returning 'Host vhost1.example.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)'.

The ssh worked fine and resolved the hostname correctly (ssh from same system to itself - just for test). Am I missing something here? I thought /etc/hosts will be referred for all lookups. Any help??
Does /etc/resolv.conf exist? If so, what does /etc/nsswitch.conf say - files first?
mark
resolv.conf exists and nsswitch.conf has a following line: "hosts: files dns"
SELinux was in enforcing mode, but I didn't see any errors in audit.log. Still I have disabled it for now.
