I use BSDI 1.0 (yes, I get my work done :-)). When I do name resolution, I would like the system to read the hosts file first and then go to the dns (instead of dns - resolv.conf). How can I achieve this?? In the newer operating systems, you can specify this in nsswitch.conf or similar. But in BSDI 1.0 how can I do that??? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Murthy Nyayapati murthy@cae.uwm.edu
