From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9 Description of problem: The default /etc/hosts file isn't in the correct format. According to 'man hosts', our own documentatation, GLS training material, and the RFC, the format is as follows: IP_address canonical_hostname aliases ... from the man page: "Aliases provide for name changes, alternate spellings, shorter host- names, or generic hostnames (for example, localhost)." Our current file is as follows: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain I.e, the alias is before the canonical hostname. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHEL 2.Look at default /etc/hosts file 3.Compare to documentation Actual Results: The file is in the wrong format - the alias is in the first column, the canonical_hostname is in the second. Expected Results: The file should be as documented. Additional info:
