I have seen a number of errors that could be due to the bug (probably
inherited from RH) as described here.

The issue affects recent xinetd (specifically, swat, where we now
suggest the use of only_from=127.0.0.1 instead of only_from = localhost)
since resolving localhost does not work in recent versions of xinetd.

http://www.speechio.org/speechio.faq.html

This seems correct according to the hosts (5), as such :

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
(as it is currently by default) is incorrect,

127.0.0.1       localhost
is correct, and
127.0.0.1       localhost       localhost.localdomain
is acceptable.

I haven't looked at the RFCs, but I suspect localhost.localdomain only
came into existence with RH, and 'localdomain' is the correct FQDN for
127.0.0.1

Can someone fix this (if my assessment is correct)?

Buchan
