Hello Folks @ 3000-l,

Re: /etc/nsswitch

We are working on /etc/nsswitch for the hpe3k and I have questions for you
about possible uses of this network configuration option.


Can you think of how NSSWITCH would be used beyond the following 2 examples
???

----------

hosts : dns[SUCCESS=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return
NOTFOUND=continue] files

Here the dns lookup is performed and if the entry is not found by the dns
server
or the dns server is unavailable then the hosts file is searched.

----------

hosts : files[SUCCESS=return NOTFOUND=continue] dns

Here the hosts file is searched first and if the entry is not found in this
file, then the dns server lookup is performed.

----------

Thanks ahead of time for your ideas/ideals.
