/etc/hosts is ignored.

Roger PeiAug 1 2012 — edited Aug 2 2012
nslookup would not check against /etc/hosts, the file gets ignored.

tried the following in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns
or
hosts: files dns

Also, in /etc/host.conf
order files,bind

Whatever I do, /etc/hosts still could not get checked, Would you please let me know why?



Thanks!
