This is also an old problem. The existence of a file named
"$SPOOLDIR/etc/hosts" and man page for "hosts" for the HylaFAX
software leads to occasional but inevitable confusion, just as in this
case.

I have written some patches to rename that file to "hosts.fax" and
re-arrange the manual pages accordingly. Also: the web pages use
suffixes to refer to man pages which are different for different
operating systems, and are installed correctly as man pages, but
do not get corrected on the web pages.

Matthias has held, with good reason, that changing the name of the
"hosts" file would cause a lot of confusion for current users: I have
taken it upon myself to maintain current patches for people who find
it extremely confusing, such as myself, or who hate manipulating their
"man" command on the command line to get a different "hosts" man page.

If you would like to alter this at *your* site, with my published
patches, they are at http://cirl.meei.harvard.edu/~raoul/patches/.
I will continue to update them with new releases.
