/etc/svc.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf
|

| Zoong Pham 2004-09-02, 6:49 pm |
| In my server running 5.1B (with PK3), I have both /etc/svc.conf and
/etc/nsswitch.conf
And there are man pages for nsswitch.conf(5) and svc.conf(4).
However, I install 5.1B-1 on another server today
It has only /etc/svc.conf and manpage of svc.conf(4).
Strange! There are no /etc/nsswitch.conf nor manpage for nsswitch.conf(5).
I then applied PK3 that installed only 1 patch (Patch 01139.00 -
Patch resolves a symlink problem) out of 341 available
patches. I guess others are already applied as part of 5.1B-1.
So my question is why /etc/nsswitch.conf and manpage for nsswitch.conf(5)
disappear in 5.1B-1?
I thought sometime in the past, one of the patch kits for version 5.X (prior
to 5.1B) added nsswitch.conf and left svc.conf for backward compatibility.
Here are the outputs from the 5.1B-1 server:
# sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Tue Aug 31 15:52:04 EST 2004
# uname -a
OSF1 alpha3.mercy.com.au V5.1 2650 alpha
Can someone clarify this for me?
Thanks,
Zoong

| nsswitch functionality was new for in PK3 (which I think is the same as
5.1B-1)
I find the information on nsswitch in the Release Notes for both PK3
and 5.1B-1. I think you should confirm what version you installed and
verify that it installed completely and correctly.
