Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 5967
foul hosts configuration
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:52 EDT
On a system with dual nics, the /etc/hosts file created during installation and as changed by linuxconf is disfunctional. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost p6012.cfaa.ufl.edu 128.227.160.14 s05.cfaa.ufl.edu 10.5.6.12 p6012.cfaa.ufl.edu This causes the system to attempt to serve web pages from localhost.localdomain which aside from the initial page produces errors for all other content. A functional version of /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 128.227.160.14 s05.cfaa.ufl.edu s05 10.5.6.12 p6012.cfaa.ufl.edu p6012 Unfortunately, the only single nic system I have I did an upgrade on rather than a fresh install, so I can not address the issue other than on a dual nic system.
I can concur that this is a problem on single-NIC systems. The following is the actual output of a single NIC system (this is all on one line in the file): 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost flounder.r2tech.com As you can see, the above is not correct at all. It should have been something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.0.1.4 flounder.r2tech.com Even more preferrable would be: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.0.1.4 flounder.r2tech.com flounder
