Summary
The getent command is a useful tool for troubleshooting network issues, as it can be used to look up entries from various databases such as passwd, group, hosts, ipnodes, services, protocols, ethers, networks, and netmasks. It requires two arguments, the name of the database to search and the particular record or key to search for, and it can be used to look up entries from any of these databases.
