Big Corp has recently transitioned from using DNS. Big Corp now uses LDAP exclusively and has
decomissioned all of their internal DNS servers. With the exception of the primary LDAP server, no
client has access to a DNS server.
The client4 .bigcorp.com was reconfigured to be an LDAP client, as were all other hosts in the
department.
A check of the contents of the /etc/inet/hosts file on client 4 .bigcorp.com reveals that it does NOT
contain an entry for server6.bigcorp.com.
You discover that all of the other systems in the department can access server6. bigcorp. com,
even though they do NOT contain an
/etc/inet/hosts entry for server6 . bigcorp. com.
You run the nsiookup command on client 4 .bigcorp.com and get this:
# nsiookup server6.bigcorp.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
When running ldapsearch from client4 . bigcorp. com, it returns the correct IP address for server6 .
big. corp. com.
Which file on client 4 .bigcorp.com is misconfigured and must be modified to correct the user’s
issue?
A.
the /etc/ipnodes file
B.
the /etc/ldap. conf file
C.
the /etc/resolv.conf file
D.
the /etc/nsswitch.conf file
