I prefer to keep my /etc/hosts files as clean as possible, but addding

to just add the line in /etc/hosts. What do you think? What it the
contents of your /etc/hosts?

My hosts contains these 3, which I think is the RHEL5 default:

        127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
        ::1                             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
        192.168.10.18           shortname.example.com shortname

Whenever I see that last line, I remove it. In my environments, it's more likely wrong than right.
