#459664 - host.conf: "multi on" appears to be default http://bugs.debian.org./459664
I just checked the source. The default (when no host.conf exists or includes no multi line and none of the overriding environment variables are sert) seems to be "multi off"; however debian distributes a conffile with default content "multi on", so the behavior default is different from the behavior default in glibc. It's not clear to me if this justifies an explanation in the manpage, as this same situation occurs with some regularity; perhaps the conffile should instead include comments; in particular, a commented line for each value that is left at the default (and of course an uncommented line for each value that's changed therefrom). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
