Good aft, Does anyone have tips for how to debug nsswitch, short of going into the source, rebuilding with -O0 -g, and attaching a gdb? My dad's laptop is supposed to mDNS-resolve a printer, but when I strace -e trace=network getent hosts $thePrinter.local, it doesn't even try to connect to the Avahi socket. What I expect. $ strace -e trace=network getent hosts something.local […] socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket"}, 110) = 0 192.168.1.3 something.local For some reason, it consults the router's DNS server and quits.
