Michael, thanks again

so that would prevent telnet localhost trying ipv6 ?
and, I should get rid of duplicate localhost...? (I did)

is this OK:

# cat hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost4    
localhost4.localdomain4 localhost
::1     localhost6      localhost6.localdomain6
111.222.33.4   my_host.tld my_host
