Hello,

 

I am seeing behavior in some situations where the /etc/hosts file get
updated with

 

127.0.0.1   myhostname localhost.localdomain localhost

Realip        myhostname

 

Notice myhostname is now linked to the loopback address.

 

This causes JBoss server instances to not properly bind to the external IP
but only the loopback in our application.

 

I looked in NetworkManagerPolicy.c and saw that the update_etc_hosts
procedure seems to do this modification.   Is there a particular reason this
is done?  What situations would cause this to occur?  It seems to me to be a
bad idea

 

Thanks,

Phil
