Thanks Dan (I had to kill nscd first, since it was running)...restarting
nscd did the trick.

Hi, I'm new to 2.8, and just installed it on an intel box using DHCP for
address assignment.  I left Name service set to "none" (I'm just used to
solaris 2.6, I guess) and manually set up nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf.

nslookup works fine, but for some reason, netscape and ping insist that
www.sun.com (for example) is an unknown host.  How do I fix this?
