Sorry, this was only a typo in the mail. It says _l_o_c_a_l_h_o_s_t_:

cat /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       localhost
83.246.46.207   kermit
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

/etc/nsswitch.conf looks like this:

passwd:         files systemd
group:          files systemd
shadow:         files
gshadow:        files


hosts:          files dns
networks:       files


protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files


netgroup:       nis
