Mmmm, ... I have:

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# less /etc/hosts
        127.0.0.1       box localhost

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-cache policy resolvconf
        resolvconf:
          Installed: (none)
        [..]

So thats ok? But If resolvconf is installed then /etc/hosts should be:

        127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

Is that correct?
