Except for the first two words, this paragraph of the hosts.equive(5) manual Host names are specified in the conventional ''.'' (dot) notation using the inet_addr(3) routine from the Internet address manipulation library, inet(3). Host names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character. is the same as the paragraph of the hosts(5) manual which starts "Network addresses". That is confusing, or wrong. As far as I have determined from looking at the referenced inet_addr(3) manual and inet_addr.c, the first sentence of hosts.equiv(5)'s paragraph is erroneous. ================ Fix: Replace the first sentence with "Host names are specified in the conventional Internet DNS dotted-domains notation." Maybe it also accepts numeric IP addresses, but I saw no evidence of it. How-To-Repeat: n/a ================
