Re: Debian /etc/hosts Behavior

[ms419]

Hmm ... I am also running unstable; a fresh install. Fresh as fresh can 
be! I assumed that the installer had created this line - it asks for 
the hostname when configuring the network - but I'd have to do another 
installation to be sure.

This realized, it was a quick fix:

If this entry prevents "hostname -f" and "hostname -d" from working,
why does Debian create it?
Debian doesn't, on any of my machines:

Personally, what YOU had in /etc/hosts looks like something that was 
added
locally.
I had the same thing on one machine running unstable (hostname before
localhost), but not on others running stable.  I recently used the
hostname command (followed by some grepping and editing other files
under /etc) to change the host's name; maybe that was responsible for
this format?
