.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
|
|
.Sq #
|
|
character are ignored. All other lines should be of the form
|
|
.Em variable
|
|
=
|
|
.Ar value ,
|
|
where the value should be a single word. Possible variables and
|
|
values are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width classes
|
|
.It Em lhs
|
|
Specifies the domain prefix used for Hesiod queries. In almost all
|
|
cases, you should specify
|
|
.Dq Em lhs Ns = Ns Ar .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 Em rhs
|
|
Specifies the default Hesiod domain; this value may be overridden by
|
|
the
|
|
.Ev HES_DOMAIN
|
|
environment variable. You must specify an
|
|
.Em rhs
|
|
line for the Hesiod
|
|
library to work properly.
|
|
.It Em classes
|
|
Specifies which DNS classes Hesiod should do lookups in. Possible
|
|
values are
|
|
.Ar IN
|
|
(the preferred class) and
|
|
.Ar 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 Ar IN,HS .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr hesiod 3
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
There default value for
|
|
.Dq lhs
|
|
should probably be more reasonable.
