Description Need Real Name 2002-06-21 18:53:15 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)

Description of problem:
I recently re-did my hosts file (to include a bunch of ad-serving URL's 
remapped to 127.0.0.1)-- but I retained the first line defining localhost, 
formatted (i thought) exactly like in the original. I've attached the complete 
exception text and my /etc/hosts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make your /etc/hosts like mine
2. try to run the "internet config wizard"
3.

first beta of erratum for 7.3/7.2 is available at:
ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network/1.0.1-1/

Most of the bugs reported have been removed, but as in every software change,
there could be new bugs introduced.

Please report bugs against this with explicitly stating the 1.0.1 version... Thx
and please test.
