Description Stephane Bortzmeyer 2003-12-10 07:40:17 UTC

  /etc/hosts, as installed by FreeBSD, says:

 # In case you want to be able to connect to the Internet, you need
 # real official assigned numbers.  Do not try to invent your own network
 # numbers but instead get one from your network provider (if any) or
 # from your regional registry (ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC, or AfriNIC.)

 AfriNIC does not distribute IP addresses yet. Several people doubt it
 will be able to do it in the near future. In any case, the advice is
 quite premature.

Fix: 

I suggest not to mention the RIR at all since they do not serve the
   end-user, anyway.
