I seem to remember this is due to the fact the default config of sshd now enables privilege seperation. sshd chroots into /var/empty and therefore can't access /etc/hosts, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv.conf etc. See, for example, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=509623+513499+/usr/local/www /db/text/2003/freebsd-stable/20030323.freebsd-stable Gavin
