In what release is that true? I'm told that the problem (under Solaris
2.0, and I think 2.1 as well) was that *in spite* of the
nsswitch.conf, the NIS canonicalization (mis-)behavior was used. I
could try to dig up the net posts involved.
It may have been fixed in 2.3 (it was supposed to be, but I haven't
tried testing without the change.) Can you assert that it is correct
in 2.4?
