[rhn-users] HOST problem

[Doerbeck, Christoph]

If you don't require DNS, you can simply put it in /etc/hosts (which you
did).  However, you'll also need to have /etc/nsswitch.conf resolve to
files before trying DNS.  See related man pages / how-to's.  If you have
questions, please post your nsswitch.conf file.

The "host" command looks at DNS. You need to have CALCULUS1 and
CALCULUS2
added to DNS. Talk to your network admin.
