/etc/svc.conf: hosts=local,bind
755 permissions on /etc/hosts
755 permissions on /etc

The specific hosts we are trying to ping are not defined in our DNS but ARE
defined in /etc/hosts.

Admins,

        We have a GS160 running 5.1 pk 5 with 5 point patches. We our
currently experiencing problems with reading the host file. We do a ping
hostname and we get the following error ping: unknown host hostname. Any
ideas?

Thanks,
