Hi, I'm getting this on bootup after following the instructions to install Gentoo precisely. I can post my /etc/host.conf if needed, but it will take me a few minutes to figure out how to get it pasted into this forum on links (which is what I'm using at the moment).
But I can say that I have no modified that file except for the instructions in the guidebook. And that line was code that was already there and was not put there by me. |

Here is the file:
Quote: | # /etc/host.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/2.3.4/host.conf,v 1.2 2004/11/24 05:31:58 vapier Exp $
# The file /etc/host.conf contains configuration information specific to
# the resolver library. It should contain one configuration keyword per
# line, followed by appropriate configuration information. The keywords
# recognized are order, trim, mdns, multi, nospoof, spoof, and reorder.
# This keyword specifies how host lookups are to be performed. It
# should be followed by one or more lookup methods, separated by
# commas. Valid methods are bind, hosts, and nis.
#
order hosts, bind
# Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library treats
# the .local top level domain as link-local domain and sends multicast
# DNS requests to the multicast address 224.0.0.251 port 5353 instead
# of normal DNS requests. If you already use the .local domain in your
# nameserver configuration you will have to switch this option off.
#
mdns off
# Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library
# will return all valid addresses for a host that appears in the
# /etc/hosts file, instead of only the first. This is off by
# default, as it may cause a substantial performance loss at sites
# with large hosts files.
#
multi off
