.Dt HESIOD.CONF 5
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm hesiod.conf
|
|
.Nd "configuration file for the Hesiod library"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Nm
|
|
determines the behavior of the Hesiod library.
|
|
Blank lines and lines beginning with a
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
character are ignored.
|
|
All
|
|
other lines should be of the form
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
=
|
|
.Ar value ,
|
|
where the
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
should be a single word.
|
|
Possible
|
|
.Ar variables
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar values
|
|
are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width classes
|
|
.It Ic lhs
|
|
Specifies the domain prefix used for Hesiod queries.
|
|
In almost all cases, you should specify
|
|
.Dq Li 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.
|
|
.It Ic rhs
|
|
Specifies the default Hesiod domain; this value may be overridden by
|
|
the
|
|
.Ev HES_DOMAIN
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
You must specify an rhs line for the Hesiod
|
|
library to work properly.
|
|
.It Ic classes
|
|
Specifies which DNS classes Hesiod should do lookups in.
|
|
Possible values are
|
|
.Cm IN
|
|
(the preferred class) and
|
|
.Cm 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
|
|
.Dq Li IN,HS .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr hesiod 3
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ic lhs
|
|
should probably be more reasonable.
