the spaces look wrong to me
If you mean those:
192.168.71.122 bpi51e5p.coyote.den bpi51 e5p #3dprinter
^^^
...
192.168.71.121 mkspi.coyote.den mkspi xmax3 # 3dprinter
^^^
... they are OK. They separate alternative host names. They mean
that 192.168.71.122 responds to "bpi51e5p.coyote.den", but also
"bpi51" and finally "e5p". Likewise for the other.

Ah, thanks. I didn't know you could do that.
Yes, you can put as many space-separated names in a line as you
like (well: one or more).
But in a way you are right: the formatting is a bit funny and we
don't know whether OP means that. My guess is he does.
=yes. Some of that is spaces and some are tabs, the file does not care.
Just to make it more interesting, t-bird doesn't paste tabs accurately.
But I'm far more interested in a critique of the nsswitch.conf also
attached previously.
