I'll put this one to Tim, but I think he's done it that way to try and
keep the script as generic as possible. Thats just a guess however, so
I'll have a chat with him, and and get a propper response.

Yes we are aware of this, and I shall try and get it fixed for 1.4.8-2
(if anyone would like to offer a fix to save us some time, it would be
greatfuly received).

Done.

This has all been fixed. We've changed the implementation of various
bits to resolve the dependency on the correct configuration of
/etc/hosts(Well, we've tested it here as much as possible, its availabe
from CVS, the pre_1_4_8 branch, so if anyone would like to give it a
thorough thrashing, please feel free).

Damion.
