I've solved the problem, or at least I hope!
It was a nisplus problem. In fact there were different configurations among
nsswitch.conf and host.conf of the resolution of a name. Even if I don't
export servers thru nis, removing the nisplus entry in the "host" row of the
nsswitch.conf solved the problem.
Thanks to everyone for the assistance.
Luca
