[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The manpage for hostid explicitely references coreutils.info but there the
part about hostid seems to have been removed somewhen in the past. As there
is no mentioning of a removal in ChangeLog I created the attached patch that
readds the documentation for hostid and hostname that I took from the
5.93 coreutils.texi .

The hostid info is present in git.
Perhaps it was removed by a local patch or something.
I'm closing this bug for the moment.

cheers,
