SIMULATION - What is the name of the file that defines the sources (like DNS or local configuration files) and the order in which they are consulted when resolving hostnames? (Specify the full name of the file, including path.)
/etc/nsswitch.conf is a configuration file that specifies the order in which various Name Service Switch (NSS) libraries are used to resolve different types of information. This file determines how the system should look up information such as hosts, services, and networks. It specifies the sources the system should use to look up this information, such as the local /etc/hosts file, a DNS server, or a NIS server, and the order in which the sources should be consulted.
For example, the line "hosts: files dns" in /etc/nsswitch.conf indicates that the system should first look in the local /etc/hosts file for a hostname and IP address mapping, and then, if the information is not found there, it should query a DNS server. This allows administrators to customize the information resolution process to meet their specific needs.
