** COPY OF GLIBC BUGZILLA #18091 FOR INFORMATION **
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18091
-----------------------------------------------------
Hello,
A Debian user reported that [1]:
> spoof* keywords (nospoof, spoofalert, spoof) are here from 1996,
> they are still valid keywords but do not have any effect apparently,
> no libraries or tools use them
>

> allowed by host.conf syntax
The glibc source code seems to confirm that the keywords nospoof,
spoofalert and spoof are accepted but without effects. I could find
nothing in the changelog. Could you please confirm that they are
obsolete? I could correct the man page accordingly.
