    All,
      Just been having LOTS of problems w/ this. look and make sure u have
    an /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf, new installs are putting
    /etc/nsswitch.TC_con... or other names, and you cant resolve, make sure
    that the nsswitch.<conf> is the right one. Gonna submit a call but a
    little buried at the moment...
