Folks,
  where does Tru64 hide the file that tells the server where and in what
order to look for the dns name entered when a telnet or ftp session is
requested? On an HP box this file is the /etc/nsswitch file which usually
directs the server to look at dns first then, if it can't resolve the name,
to try the /etc/hosts file. Obviously, Tru64 does it a bit differently and
I seem to be missing it..

TIA,
Bill
