The manpage should be updated to reflect that. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#396633: libc6: gethostbyname ignores "order bind,hosts" line in /etc/host.conf
Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 Severity: important gethostbyname seems to ignore the "order" line in my /etc/host.conf. I got my machine name both in DNS and /etc/hosts. My hosts file reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1mybox.mynet.prv I got a few more lines with the preconfigured standard IPV6 addresses that I dont think matter in here. The DNS is also configured to link mybox.mynet.prv to an external address, lets say its 1.2.3.4 My host.conf file says: order bind,hosts multi on The spected result is that when I use gethostbyname with mybox.mynet.prv I should get 1.2.3.4 as a resply, but Im getting 192.168.1.1 If i remove the 192.168.1.1 line from /etc/hosts then I get the spected result when using gethostbyname (1.2.3.4) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.1 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7The Berkeley database routines [gl -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
