Browsing my filesystem for a networking question I came upon /etc/networks.
I have never heard of its use. From the header date it pre-dates FreeBSD (nic.ddn.mil).
What in the heck is it? Does anyone use it? I know FreeeBSD uses many methods to achieve the same thing.
Is this legacy cruft or useful?
It looks like it simply defines your network. Doesn't Linux use this scheme? Is this for Linux compatibility?
