Don't use the obsolete gethostbyname interface.
Andreas,
"I" am not. My trace is of glibc's getent binary.
You are requesting it to use the obsolete gethostbyname interface.
Andreas, your terseness isn't really all that informational,
although I appreciate that someone is replying.
Can you explain how *I* am requesting anything?
I'm running *glibc's getent binary* (from nss/getent.c)
built against glibc.
My control points in that situation are:
a) my arguments to getent ("hosts www.google.com")
b) my OS configuration files
Neither of which state "use the obsolete gethostbyname
interface in glibc"
