--- Begin Message ---Hi. In this report I'm asked to drop the "order" line from host.conf. I assume no versioned dependency on glibc is needed for this, as it seems such line has been ignored for a looong time (probably since glibc 2.0), but I better make sure that's the case by asking here. Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Samuel Thibault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 15:07:02 +0100 Subject: base-files: provided /etc/host.conf file shouldn't contain an "order bind, hosts" line Package: base-files Version: 3.1.10 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi, The "order" line of /etc/host.conf doesn't work any more (see http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2389) and is replaced by the "hosts:" line of /etc/nsswitch.conf. I requested documentation removal from the manpage in bug #270368. For even less confusion, please also apply the following patch to base-files, since the "order" line doesn't make sense any more. --- host.conf.orig 2006-02-23 15:05:56.000000000 +0100 +++ host.conf 2006-02-23 15:06:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,2 +1 @@ -order hosts,bind multi on Regards, Samuel [...]
