So is there an equiv command that follows > system priorities for both dns and hosts file? getent hosts www.google.com That will follow the IPv6-before-IPv4 rules (so by default, if the host has an IPv6 entry, only that will be shown). To see all the matches, IPv6 and IPv4, you can use "ahosts" instead (which also has "ahostsv4" and "ahostsv6" to get only a specific address family). That will return all socket types (so usually STREAM, DGRAM, and RAW). This is done via a calls to getaddrinfo() and so should match the behavior of modern (akak IPv6-ready) programs. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
