MODIFIED version of Sun's /etc/nsswitch.conf

All references to NIS and NIS+ have been deleted. Sun doesn't even use that junk, so why should we?

#
# /etc/nsswitch.conf:  Use /etc/hosts and DNS, in that order.
#
# "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the
# /etc/netconfig file has a "-" for nametoaddr_libs of "inet" transports.
