I also found why 'getent hosts create' was resolving:
my resolv.conf had no "search" option set, and manual says:
search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list is nor‐
mally determined from the local domain name; by default, it
contains only the local domain name.
My hostname is 42.pl, same as domain name, but I guess some code
simply chops off first component and domain name was automatically
set to "pl" and getent found "create.pl".
How about not chopping off first component in such a case? :)
In addition to not resolving ifconfig command names? :)
