Comment # 4 on bug 970282 from David Westfall

Is getent not showing any IPv6 info a bug or a configuration issue?

I added IPv6 host information for all of my computers to the hosts file on my
computer.

I would expect "getent ahostv6" to not show any IPv4 host information.

Hagar:~ # grep Atlas /etc/hosts|sed -e
's/^....:...:...:..../XXXX:XXX:XXX:XXXX/' -e
's/^[0-9][0-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9][0-9]\./XXX.XXX.XXX./'
