The rather badly worded warning is about how the first line should be precisely: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost For some reason, Fedora likes to put the machine name into the 127.0.0.1 line, sometimes, despite all the problems that it can cause. But yours seems to be missing the "localhost" alias. I can imagine that causing you some problems. If you're referring to splitting the hostname off from the 127.0.0.1 line and putting it down onto the 192.168. line, that'd be the normal thing to do. With that warning being utterly confusing, as you have no example of what it should be. It's as stupid as "don't touch until the paint is dry", signs. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
