Not on Ubuntu it isn't ;-)
I'd argue that Ubuntu just has incorrect behaviour then. If you look at man hosts on an ubuntu machine (13.10), you'll see how they describe it, and the example they provide. The format described is: IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...] The example is: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 foo.mydomain.org foo 192.168.1.13 bar.mydomain.org bar That's the correct format, whether or not Ubuntu applies it. That said, the only machine I have with ubuntu defined a hosts file with: 127.0.1.1 short-ubuntu-13.10 short-ubuntu-13 That, in a slightly unpleasant way, follows the way I'd do it. jh -- John Hodrien Specialist IT and Unix, IT Faculty of Engineering 0113 3435471 9.26 EC Stoner _______________________________________________ sssd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-users
