Re: [gentoo-user] Name Resolution Problem

Thanks Nick! strace showed that /etc/hosts was not being opened, but it showed that nsswitch.conf was being opened but did not exist, so I created a nsswitch.conf file with the following line:
hosts:   files dns
Now everything works.
Thank you,

I can ping 127.0.0.1, however pinging localhost results in "ping: unknown host localhost".
