[rhn-users] hostname in 'localhost' line of /etc/hosts

[Riley, Liz (ACHE)]

Günter,

Only thing I can think of is that you can have a number of names assigned to the IP and well I suppose if you wanted to "ping myhost" why not let it ping 127.0.0.1 ... but, its not what Id be wanting it to do.

I'd vote you report it on bugzilla.

Either they could fix it so you could see the line, or, make it quit putting things in the wrong place. Although it seems Ive not seen anyone else say they have the same. (mind you, I dont tend to use the RH tools.)
