[oi-dev] Problem With Zone Networking

[Nick Zivkovic]

Changing the host and ipnodes lines in nsswitch.conf to "files dns",
does solve the name resolution problem from within a zone.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, ipfilter still gets disabled. `svcs -xv` states that
ipfilter was temporarily disabled by the administrator.

I am the only administrator on the box, and I did not disable it. So
clearly something else is doing something behind my back...

The log file (network-ipfilter:default.log) says: "stopping because
dependency activity requires stop".

I have no idea how to interpret this message.
