What is the proper order for /etc/hosts?
192.168.1.1 machine.domain.com machine
or
192.168.1.1 machine machine.domain.com
Now assume that /etc/hosts.allow contains: ALL: LOCAL
If I list the FQDN first in /etc/hosts, access is denied to all
local services accessing via "machine" because
telnet machine
resolves to
telnet machine.domain.com
Which is not "local" according to the man page.
However, this can easily be overcome by using the entries in
/etc/hosts.allow that are shown
at the beginning of this message. So which order is proper for
/etc/hosts?
Thanks,
