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

rpc.nisd_resolv(1M) System Administration Commands rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)
NAME
rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V] [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.nisd_resolv is an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and rpc.nisd that are
running in the NIS compatibility mode. It is generally started by invoking rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B option or ypserv(1M) with the -d
option. Although it is not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be started independently with the following options.
This command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to
verify communication with a DNS nameserver. See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M).
OPTIONS
-F Run in foreground.
-C fd Use fd for service xprt (from nisd).
-v Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.
-V Verbose. Send output to stdout.
-t xx Use transport xx.
-p yy Use transient program# yy.
