padl tools setup?
the hosts line from my ldap config
nss_base_hosts ou=Hosts,dc=example,dc=org
from nsswitch.conf
#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
hosts: files dns ldap
Note: ldap was before dns but by moving it back i was able to ping
yahoo.com. But I still can't ping hosts in the hosts list.
thanks again
