fixed !!!! host alias not working: host not found
Hello,
I am working on HP-UX , and in the /etc/hosts file we have setup an alias:
aa.bb.cc.dd devmach2.unix.org devmach2 devma2v
The alias devma2v does not work. Error when pinging devma2v
ping: unknown host devma2v
For devmach2 the ping works fine , returning the correct IP (aa.bb.cc.dd)/
What could be the problem?
Thank you.
Well - the file /etc/nsswitch.conf was missing!!! That's why it didn't work.

NAME
macping - A tool for pinging other RouterOS or mactelnetd devices
SYNOPSIS
mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname>
DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to ping other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can ping either a hostname or a MAC address. If speci-

cannot be used with -c 0
-s Specify the amount of bytes to send in each ping packet, up to ~1400 bytes.
-c Number of packets to send before exiting. A value of 0 means unlimited packets and the tool must be exited with Control + C.
