Are you quite certain it's /etc/hosts, and not /etc/resolv.conf, that you are talking about? (Just curious).
Also, what is the content of /etc/host.conf?

I am trying to change an IP address on a machine running HPUX10
After I change it I can ping it from the outside but it completely locks the console. After a reboot it returns back to its previous IP. Any ideas??
Thanks

nscd(8) System Manager's Manual nscd(8)
NAME
/usr/sbin/nscd - name service cache daemon
DESCRIPTION
Nscd is a daemon that provides a cache for the most common name service requests. The default configuration file, /etc/nscd.conf, deter-
mines the behavior of the cache daemon. See nscd.conf(5).
Nscd provides cacheing for the passwd(5), group(5), and hosts(5) databases through standard libc interfaces, such as getpwnam(3), getp-
wuid(3), getgrnam(3), getgrgid(3), gethostbyname(3), and others. Each cache has a separate TTL (time-to-live) for its data; modifying the
local database (/etc/passwd, and so forth) causes the cache to become invalidated within fifteen seconds. Note that the shadow file is
specifically not cached. getspnam(3) calls remain uncached as a result.
OPTIONS
--help will give you a list with all options and what they do.
NOTES
Nscd doesn't know anything about the underlaying protocols for a service. This also means, that if you change /etc/resolv.conf for DNS
queries, nscd will continue to use the old one if you have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf to use DNS for host lookups. In such a case, you
need to restart nscd.
