Description Need Real Name 2000-10-09 08:06:52 UTC 
I manually add two entries to my /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost
127.0.0.1   devbak.freeler.nl   devbak

Then I start netcfg, view my hosts and suddenly I see the second entry
twice! The first entry has disappeared altogether... When I click the save
button these entries are saved to my /etc/hosts file. Please fix ;-)
