Yes, the problem reported by Paweł Hajdan jr (ph) in the Gentoo Bugzilla Bug no. 201948 is exactly what I saw. The source of the problem is not clear from the explanations given by Jakub Moc (who, incidentally, comes across as rather haughty in his replies). I, for example, experience the complete opposite of what Moc stated happens on his PC. I get:
- Code: Select all
# grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files mdns4_minimal dns mdns4
# ping www.gentoo.org

Did
lxnay remove "[NOTFOUND=return]" from /etc/nsswitch.conf before creating the ISO for the SL 3.5 DVD, as it's not in the /etc/nsswitch.conf on
dunsurfin's 3.5 installation? Or is it not there because the 3.5 ISO has an earlier version of nss-mdns (and avahi)? I have nss-mdns-0.10 and avahi-0.6.23 installed on my PC, which are currently the latest versions in Portage.
