Tracker bug for all /etc/hosts related s-c-network bugs. Description of problem: The currently used rhpl.Conf.ConfEHosts and rhpl.Conf.ConfFHosts classes which access host entries by their IP addresses or host names apparently can't handle e.g. IPv6 entries which need a second line per host, or host name changes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.30 I propose a new backend that in one way or another stores (see e.g. system-config-nfs and how it handles unknown NFS options) everything in /etc/hosts, regardless of whether it knows about it or not (this would ideally allow preservation of comments, whitespace, new features like IPv6 entries even if they're not handled by the application yet, ...). If you need info about specific host names, IP addresses, there would be methods to do this which give you objects that when manipulated translate back into actual changes in the conf file object and finally the file.
