Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Although it is not clear, I think the ticket is referring to Section 7.11,
Customizing the /etc/hosts File.
In this section, FQDN is not defined.
The discussion in the book (and the patch) needs to avoid the idea of
Classful routing completely. They are long depreciated. There is not a
single system on the internet today that is not CIDR.
Instead of class, the most appropriate reference would be to the "normal"
prefix such as:
{{{
Private Network Address Range Normal Prefix
10.0.0.1 - 10.255.255.254 8
172.x.0.1 - 172.x.255.254 16
192.y.0.1 - 192.168.y.254 24
}}}
x is any number in the range 16-31[[br]]
y is any nymber in the range 0-255
Also, in the script, the following:
[192.168.1.1] [<HOSTNAME>.example.org] [HOSTNAME]
Would probably be more accurate as
<192.168.1.1> <HOSTNAME.example.org> [alias1] [alias2] ...
