Created attachment 291737 [details] /etc/hosts as per clean install of f8, untouched by me
Created attachment 291739 [details] /etc/hosts following editing via system-config-network (plus addition of 6s to the IPv6 line)
The problem is, that s-c-n doesn't show loopback addresses by default. This is not a bug, it's a feature. I made a patch, that makes it possible for user to show/hide to loopbacks. I'll add it to s-c-n asap. Jirka
Hmm, interesting "feature" - but, certainly a switch to show/hide loopbacks would be a good feature. Thanks. M.
