take a look at the nsswitch.conf file in the emulation directory.  I use:

bob% more /emul/svr4/etc/nsswitch.conf 
#
# Name service switch file
#
hosts:      dns files
networks:   files
protocols:  files
ethers:     files
rpc:        files
netmasks:   files       
bootparams: files
services:   files
#
passwd:     files
group:      files
netgroup:   files



hope this helps.
