Looking at those, you've got different SELinux contexts than I have.  It
might be worth comparing them with someone else, as well.

ls -Z /etc/nsswitch.conf  /etc/resolv.conf
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:etc_t          /etc/nsswitch.conf
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:net_conf_t     /etc/resolv.conf
