The description of /etc/hosts says "The format of the host table is
described in RFC 952." But that format is not at all close to the
format given in this man page.
3 possibilities occur to me:
1) My interpretation that RFC 952 was supposed to give the format of
this file is wrong. If so, could the man page be clearer on that
point.
2) That RFC is not directly relevant. The reference should be removed
or replaced.
3) The format of /etc/hosts is supposed to be that of RFC 952. Then
the man page is quite off.
Also, the basic syntax description is incomplete. Judging from the
examples, the aliases field is optional. So it should be
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases]
I also can't tell whether aliases should be separated by commas,
whitespace, etc.
I stumbled on this because I have an /etc/hosts with a single entry,
my non-fully qualified host name. I'm trying to figure out whether
that's OK. It seems not to be, under any interpretation....
