correct... b/c ananconda set this "::1 localhost" line.. will fix s-c-network This issue was first noticed in bug #211800 (and noted there that when anaconda is fixed to write out the two lines properly, as 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 then s-c-network does leave both lines alone). (In reply to comment #2) > will fix s-c-network Great! Thanks, Cheers. Hello, any news about this bug? [I just added this to 211800] My symptom is described in 216919. This may well be an Anaconda bug but no update can fix an Anaconda bug (as I understand it). To get a fix in out there for FC6, s-c-n needs to have a work-around for the Anaconda bug. This bug is still present in FC7 test 2 (live cd). After saving from the system-config-network, there is only this line left in /etc/hosts: ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost When removing the 127.0.0.1 line, the BankID login Java applet used in many Norwegian banks fails when you try to log in - it took a couple of days to figure out what was wrong. So it would be very nice if this could be fixed for FC7. It's stuff like this that frightens new users away from FC. The user installs, everything seems normal, but for no reason, programs doens't load... The new user won't even have the chance to test his recently installed FC. Only advanced/experienced users would check into the hosts file to see if everything is alright. Sure it would be very nice if it was fixed. Cheers, guys!
