The order keyword support was removed in the following commit upstream: http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=b9c65d0902e5890c4f025b574725154032f8120a Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man host.conf 2. 3. Actual results: man page has information for the "order" keyword Expected results: man page should not have information for the "order" keyword or at least mention that the keyword does not do anything and that one needs to use /etc/nsswitch.conf now for this functionality.
