samba - Dec 2002 - Expected service, found `wins, dns, files'

Can anyone peruse my attached host.conf file and determine what missing
statement this error is referring to? Here is the command that generated this
error:

[root@cofr3 s390]# /usr/sbin/rndc reload
/etc/host.conf: line 11: expected service, found `wins, dns, files'
rndc: reload command successful

Thank you in advance for your time.

Suggest you set in host.conf

order hosts,bind
multi on


Then in /etc/nsswitch.conf change the hosts line to read:

hosts: files wins dns


The standard C library functions that read the host.conf file know nothing
of WINS.

Thank you very much. The error is now history.

Oddly, the host.conf file and nsswitch.conf file were copied from one of two
other virtual Linux servers to save time. They also had their order settings in
the host.conf file and hosts settings in the nsswitch.conf file switched around.
