strange situation with nslookup on Linux
Hey,
I have a problem with nslookup under the newly installed mandrake 9.1, and as I see now also under Redhat 8.0
I have a pc called evo with the ip 10.0.0.1 which entered correctly in the /etc/hosts file. Connection to the internet is via an adsl-router. I have the nameservers from my provider in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
The name resolution via dns is working fine, but I cann't receive the ip for my pc, not with the name evo, localhost or ip-adress.
The files /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/hosts.conf are configured to use first files and then use dns/bind.
Has anybody seen this and does know a solution?
thx
Martin

nss-systemd
NSS-SYSTEMD(8) nss-systemd NSS-SYSTEMD(8)
NAME
nss-systemd, libnss_systemd.so.2 - Provide UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and groups.
SYNOPSIS
libnss_systemd.so.2
DESCRIPTION
nss-systemd is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc), providing UNIX user and
group name resolution for dynamic users and groups allocated through the DynamicUser= option in systemd unit files. See systemd.exec(5) for
details on this option.
This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs 0 and 65534) remain resolvable
at all times, even if they aren't listed in /etc/passwd or /etc/group, or if these files are missing.
To activate the NSS module, add "systemd" to the lines starting with "passwd:" and "group:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
It is recommended to place "systemd" after the "files" or "compat" entry of the /etc/nsswitch.conf lines so that /etc/passwd and /etc/group
based mappings take precedence.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables nss-systemd correctly:
passwd: compat mymachines systemd
group: compat mymachines systemd
shadow: compat
hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
