Upstream also "decided" that: "The ::1 entry should have no localhost names associated." (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496300#c3). But our default /etc/hosts does exactly this.
Yeah. See further down that bug report. It enumerates all issues connected with this problem. If we remove localhost from ::1 in /etc/hosts ipv6-only systems wouldn't work correctly anymore. If we leave it in we get double returns of 127.0.0.1 because of the rewriting on ipv4-only systems. Catch 22. I don't have a good solution for this, but I think the lesser evil is to deal with the doubled returns. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
