the archive of the debian mailing lists contain a long discussion about "localhost" versus "localhost.localdomain" >From what I remember, the RFCs for the DNS say that "localhost" *is* a FQDN (the only one without a dot, to the best of my knowledge), and they do not speak about "localhost.localdomain" So a line 127.0.0.1 localhost or 127.0.0.1 localhost first-alias second-alias should be correct. -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
