Bug#2321: libc doesn't use **h_aliases (hostent)

["Peter Tobias" <tobias@server.et-inf.fho-emden.de>]

Package: libc5 (and libc4)
Version: 5.2.18-1 (and libc4 4.6.27-11)


The library doesn't use the alias entries in /etc/hosts. Functions
like gethostbyname should be able to get this entries (see **h_aliases
from the hostent structure).


Thanks,

Peter
