The branch stable/12 has been updated by gbe (doc committer): URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=9400d17e9a4dce9389417782a5dbb7ee308a027e commit 9400d17e9a4dce9389417782a5dbb7ee308a027e Author: Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-03-11 18:46:10 +0000 Commit: Gordon Bergling <gbe@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-11-14 08:16:23 +0000 man: Remove obsolete info from hosts man page The NIC no longer provides a host database, and hasn't for quite some time. Remove that paragraph, it's not been relevant for many years. Also, hosts appeared in 4.1c, not 4.2, so correct that too.
