I forgot to mention that the other machine, that I didn't mess with
worked fine.
Well thanks to Steve Phelps <steve@epic.co.uk>, who walked me through
the obvious. And I found the obvious problem, that I didn't see the
first 10 times.
There was a extra ftp in the /etc/services file on the data port. This
really messed up the system. I deleted the line, switch the
/etc/nsswitch.conf line for services to have files first and rebooted.
Everything started working, including dns.
Strange. I really didn't mess with the services file. I don't know how
it changed.
Also thanks to:
