Having to edit /etc/hosts is indeed a pain, we should just ship <http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-myhostname/>, which does the correct thing for us automatically without requiring /etc/hosts to contain the hostname. > About locale.conf, imho the bug report was closed too quickly, the > current solution doesn't correctly adress the issue. > Inheritance of locales should not be done by a login shell but by > process granting access (by example pam).

However, what you describe sounds like a possibly nicer way to implement it, so I'd be interested in seeing some patches ;-) Cheers, Tom
