Hmm ... I am also running unstable; a fresh install. Fresh as fresh can be!

Debian /etc/hosts Behavior
I just spent a painful couple of days trying to figure out why Kerberos authentication was broken. DNS checked out, but it turns out "hostname -f" was only returning the short hostname, due to the following entry in "/etc/hosts": --- 127.0.0.1 kas localhost --- This realized, it was a quick fix: --- 127.0.0.1 localhost --- If this entry prevents "hostname -f" and "hostname -d" from working, why does Debian create it?
