I changed that following using the prescribed routine and the change
appears to be as requested:
.....................
# In order of likelihood of use to accelerate lookup.
shadow: files sss
hosts: files dns myhostname
# hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
.........................
J restarted the computer since there was no improvement in the network gvfs
browser display of SMB.
Thunar 1.8 uses gvfs for cifs. Is gvfs installed? Maybe the permissions
are wrong for the run directory used by gvfs. What is "ls -ld /run/user/1000/gvfs"?
And years ago my isp insisted that we all use their DNS, I have used
whatever they provided, presently the isp is owned by Viasat. The dns
seems to work for me.
ISPs have monitarized DNS. My ISP blocks DNS over TLS. I have been
seeing ads related to web sites visited by other household members. My
previous ISP mapped unknown addresses to ad pages.
