The comments in inet_aton() show that it is interpreting "10.6" in what most people nowadays would find a surprising way: case 1: /* a -- 32 bits */ case 2: /* a.b -- 8.24 bits */ case 3: /* a.b.c -- 8.8.16 bits */ case 4: /* a.b.c.d -- 8.8.8.8 bits */ ie, it is read as if it were "10.0.0.6" ... hence no match, but also no syntax error. regards, tom lane
