There are good reasons not to, by the way. For one thing, using it to try and diagnose name resolution issues on your system is somewhat like using pigs to find out about human diseases -- it's similar, but it's not using the same mechanisms, so you can't be certain that the results are meaningful. Plus, it does that wacky thing where it tries to resolve server names instead of just doing what it's told. Plus, "host" is shorter to type anyway. :) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> --> Fedora Users & Developers Conference, hosted by Boston University <-- February 18th, 2005 <http://fedoraproject.org/fudcon/>
