/etc/resolv.conf is for DNS settings, not name resolution order.

Wait, are you sure? I thought it was /etc/hosts.

I remember /etc/nsswitch.conf being mentioned in class, but I can't recall if it specifically handles name resolution order.

I’m leaning towards /etc/named, but I could be mixing it up with DNS configurations.

I feel like I saw a similar question in our practice tests, and I think it was about /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf.

I think the answer might be /etc/nsswitch.conf, but I'm not completely sure. I remember it being related to name resolution methods.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know NetBSD has some differences from other Unix-like systems, so I'm not entirely sure where the name resolution configuration would be stored. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

/etc/nsswitch.conf sounds right to me. That's where you configure the name service switch, which includes the order of name resolution methods.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about NetBSD, so it's probably not going to be something like /etc/resolv.conf, which is more of a general Unix/Linux thing. I'm going to go with /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know it has something to do with name resolution, but I can't quite remember where the configuration is stored on NetBSD.

I usually double check /etc/resolv.conf as well, just to be safe.

I'm going with /etc/nsswitch.conf. It's the standard location for name service configuration on many Unix-based systems, so it makes sense for NetBSD too.
