You can consider it a bug, but I think anyone would else would > consider it a feature. No one not in "lambert.org" will see plain "phaeton". If there's a phaeton.sri.com connected, I'd see phaeton.sri.com for it. If I try to rlogin to "phaeton" and the machine I'm doing it from is in "lambert.org", I'll connect to to "phaeton.lambert.org". The only readily apparent order here is what I get *locally* for a reverse lookup of a name in my *local* hosts file.

Here is the ID line: # $Id: hosts,v 1.5 1995/04/09 09:54:39 rgrimes Exp $ # I guess if you really wanted me to upgrade this file when I upgrade the rest of the box, it wouldn't be in my /etc directory. 8-) 8-).
