Check Text ( C-42396r1_chk )
Determine if DNS is enabled on the system. # grep dns /etc/nsswitch.conf If no line is returned, or any returned line is commented out, the system does not use DNS, and this is not applicable. Determine the name servers used by the system. # grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf If less than two lines are returned that are not commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-38406r1_fix)
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add additional "nameserver" lines until at least two are present.
