It was _not_ found. That's the whole problem that made me wonder
if /lib/ndb/local is consulted at all. Later I realised that the search
is probably conducted by IP address, but there's no address
given in /lib/ndb/local 'cos its pointless.

I solved the problem by defining a network with the correct parameters.

OT: How to compensate for the fact that the real-time clock is in local =
time?
date(1) and friends constantly show me the time in GMT, although I've =
set
/adm/timezone/local.
Also, how does timesync(8) fit into the picture? I mean, if I've set it =
up to
synchronise with a NTP server, is the RTC updated into GMT? Presumably
not if the -L flag is given?

It's a multiboot machine and i'd like to keep the RTC local.
