** COPY OF GLIBC BUGZILLA #18091 FOR INFORMATION ** https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18091 ----------------------------------------------------- Hello, A Debian user reported that [1]: > spoof* keywords (nospoof, spoofalert, spoof) are here from 1996, > they are still valid keywords but do not have any effect apparently, > no libraries or tools use them > > it is misleading to see references to resolv+ and rlogin, the keywords > are just ignored these days; the only meaning they have is that they > are > allowed by host.conf syntax The glibc source code seems to confirm that the keywords nospoof, spoofalert and spoof are accepted but without effects. I could find nothing in the changelog. Could you please confirm that they are obsolete? I could correct the man page accordingly.
