    This might help you..

    lookupd -configuration (shows current config)
    lookupd -d (interactive mode)
    man lookupd (No comments.. ;)

    The lookupd config files/netinfo data does not exist(?) afaik. So you will have to create them yourself in order to change the lookup order.

    It uses lookupd, which uses a set of software "agents" to get informations. There are agents for NetInfo, NIS, DNS, the files in /etc (Flatfiles), LDAP and internal cache agent.

    NetInfo is usually the first place to look for things(after the cache..)

    Don't forget:

    [Luna: ~] pho% man lookupd
    --cut--

    LOOKUP STRATEGY
    Internally, lookupd uses a set of software ``agents'' to get information.
    There are agents for NetInfo, NIS, DNS, the files in /etc (also known as
    the ``Flat Files'' ), an LDAP agent, and an agent which manages the
    internal cache. There is also a special agent (the NILAgent) which
    returns negative entries.

    When lookupd searches for information about an item, it queries agents in
    a specific order until the item is found or until all sources of informa-
    tion have been consulted without finding the desired item. By default,
    lookupd first queries its cache agent, and then NetInfo. If the item is
    a host or network, lookupd will query the cache, then the DNS agent, and
    NetInfo last. In some cases, lookupd creates lists of all the informa-
    tion available about some sort of entity. For example, all printers or
    all NFS mounts. In these cases lookupd queries each agent in turn and
    concatenates all retrieved information into a single list.

    The lookup order is configurable. For example, you might specify that
    lookupd queries its internal cache, then NetInfo, then the Flat Files,
    then NIS. You may also change the lookup order for a particular category
    of item. The known categories are users, groups, hosts, networks, ser-
    vices, protocols, rpcs, mounts, printers, bootparams, bootp, aliases, and
    netgroups. You can set the lookup order (and other configuration
    options) for all categories, and override them for individual categories.
    Details on configuring lookupd are found in the CONFIGURATION section
    below.

    --cut--

    So, to get rid of netinfo, just nidump and configure lookupd correctly.
