I have been getting no where with this one. Going through various
online BIND9 setup tutorials, I see a reference to nsswitch.conf. In
this file I find the entry:
hosts: files dns
I have yet to find any explaination of this file. Is there something
I need to add?
Also I found references to /etc/hostname and /etc/networks. Neither
are on my system. Are they needed?
And this was pretty much a standard CentOS 4.2 install, but I went
back using that 'broken' add/remove gui to add BIND that I forgot
(before I knew about yum install bind)
