configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

.TH HESIOD.CONF 5 "30 November 1996"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
hesiod.conf \- Configuration file for the Hesiod library
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file hesiod.conf determines the behavior of the Hesiod library.
|
|
Blank lines and lines beginning with a `#' character are ignored. All
|
|
other lines should be of the form
|
|
.I variable
|
|
=
|
|
.IR value ,
|
|
where the value should be a single word. Possible variables and
|
|
values are:
|
|
.IP lhs
|
|
Specifies the domain prefix used for Hesiod queries. In almost all
|
|
cases, you should specify ``lhs=.ns''. The default value if you do
|
|
not specify an lhs value is no domain prefix, which is not compatible
|
|
with most Hesiod domains.
|
|
.IP rhs
|
|
Specifies the default Hesiod domain; this value may be overridden by
|
|
the
|
|
.B HES_DOMAIN
|
|
environment variable. You must specify an rhs line for the Hesiod
|
|
library to work properly.
|
|
.IP classes
|
|
Specifies which DNS classes Hesiod should do lookups in. Possible
|
|
values are IN (the preferred class) and HS (the deprecated class,
|
|
still used by some sites). You may specify both classes separated by
|
|
a comma to try one class first and then the other if no entry is
|
|
available in the first class. The default value of the classes
|
|
variable is ``IN,HS''.
|
|

|

|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The default value for ``lhs'' should probably be more reasonable.
