RE: /etc/host.conf questions
That would be
/etc/nsswitch.conf
on the line marked 'hosts'

Subject: /etc/host.conf questions
I'm running Etch. I'm involved in a project to understand
how networking is set up on my home lan. I'm looking at
/etc/host.conf . It contains a single line:
multi on
man host.conf says that a possible config-line in host.conf
is 'order', and there is no such line in my copy. This line
is supposed to determine whether BIND or /etc/hosts if
searched first. Since there is no such line, resolver must
be doing some default. What is the default order in Debian
Etch? Or, is there some other place where the order is really
set in Debian Etch?
