I have nis master configured on my machine running Solaris 8, and when looking in /etc/nsswitch.conf which I copied from /etc/nsswitch.nis, I see I have no entries for dns next to hosts. I only have nis next to hosts. My question is how am i able to connect to internet if I have only nis entry next to hosts.????

I mean, that I am already able to resolve names to the internet without having the dns entry in the "hosts" field of the nsswitch.conf file. So, what in my system is telling my applications to look in the resolv.conf file for dns resolutions when I have not specified to do so?
