Is there some reason that the standard network configuration routines put the local host IP address in both inet/hosts and inet/ipnodes? I can see arguments for one or the other with v4 addresses, but having both doesn't seem as useful since only one is used by name lookups. At least if the address wasn't in the hosts file, admins wouldn't assume that it was valid and that changing the address would do something.
Is this question better directed somewhere else (like nwam?) Thanks. -- Darren This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
