Subject: Unable to lookup host registered in hosts file
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 13:35:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002501c6e5e4$8d4d5ec0$3dfbc68a@amk.st.com> (raw)
Hi All,
I have 2 servers:
hostA: RedHat Linux 2.4.21-40.EL
hostB: HP-UX 10.20
From hostA, I can't lookup hostB even though I put its entry in /etc/hosts file.
root@hostA:/> host hostB
Host hostB not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Nsswitch.conf is configured to search file first:
root@hostA:/> grep ^hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
But ping works:
root@hostA:/> ping hostB
PING hostB.domain (<hostB's IP>) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from hostB.domain (<hostB's IP>): icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=0.208 ms
64 bytes from hostB.domain (<hostB's IP>): icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=0.231 ms
--- hostB.domain ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1011ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.208/0.219/0.231/0.018 ms, pipe 2
Can anybody tell me why is that so, and how to solve it such that host lookup can work just like nslookup in HP Unix?
Regards,
Edi
