Data 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.
