<P>The glibc package contains a FAQ with additional information that you should
|
|
check if you are having problems. An online version is also available
|
|
at
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/glibc-FAQ.html">http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/glibc-FAQ.html</A>. Below
|
|
are some tips for solving problems which are not covered in the FAQ or are
|
|
covered here in more detail.

<!--

|
|
<P>Glibc 2 uses a different method than libc 5 in looking up host names.
|
|
The glibc name server switch (NSS) code looks for a file
|
|
<CODE>/etc/nsswitch.conf</CODE>. If host names are not resolving for you
|
|
when using a glibc 2 application and your <CODE>/etc/resolv.conf</CODE> is
|
|
configured correctly, check if you have the <CODE>/etc/nsswitch.conf</CODE>
|
|
file. If you do not have this file, you can create one containing the
|
|
line:
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
hosts: files dns
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
|
|
It will now look for <CODE>/etc/resolv.conf</CODE> to find the nameservers.
|
|
<P>You should look at the section of the libc info pages describing the
|
|
nsswitch.conf file for more details.
