don't have duplicate names to different IP's. Also be sure you have dotted fully qualified names for both IP's.

FWIW, the double entries are what sysinstall creates. I just loaded a new box yesterday and was wondering about that myself.

Here's what it crated:

# uname -a
FreeBSD newb.xxiii.com 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0
# cat /etc/hosts
::1             localhost.xxiii.com localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost.xxiii.com localhost
192.168.0.14    newb.xxiii.com newb
192.168.0.14    newb.xxiii.com.

So what' with the doubles. anyway?
