Hi,
have you all the needed libnss* libs on your system?

For example:

libnss_dns-2.7.so
libnss_dns.so.2
libnss_files-2.7.so
libnss_files.so.2

Is your /etc/nsswitch.conf correct?

For example:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd:         compat
group:          compat
shadow:         compat

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
networks:       files

protocols:      db files
