From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010316 Description of problem: My /etc/hosts usually looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 bfcserver.bfc bfcserver If i don't have a localhost entry, lpd will crash with something like Get_local_host, unable to determine hos.... Having this entry helps this problem, but whenever i use netcfg it alters my /etc/hosts to: 127.0.0.1 bfcserver.bfc bfcserver 127.0.0.1 bfcserver.bfc bfcserver And when lpd is (re)started it crashes! Howcome?, i don't change anything regarding hostnames, only ip's and so! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run netcfg 2. change (fore example) an ip-address 3. press "save" 4. restart lpd Actual Results: My /etc/hosts file is altered from: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 bfcserver.bfc bfcserver to: 127.0.0.1 bfcserver.bfc bfcserver 127.0.0.1 bfcserver.bfc bfcserver Expected Results: It should have left my /etc/hosts file alone, as i didn't change my hostname..... Additional info: This entry is added under 7.1, but i guess it's a problem with netcfg.....
