https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75991 Bug ID: 75991 Summary: Clarify host.conf and resolv.conf status Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: myllynen@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No host.conf does not refer to resolv.conf at all and vice versa, it might not be obvious by reading the man pages that host.conf is the legacy configuration file. At least the "order" option in host.conf is completely ignored although the man pages describes it like any other option. There was a patch to address this sent earlier but it wasn't updated based on review and after that no progress: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/3413 Please clarify host.conf and resolv.conf relationship and status in the related man pages, and update the description for obsolete and deprecate options as needed. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
