To shed a little light on the loopback interface line, in many versions of UNIX
utilities (not just Linux), there seems to be an assumption here and there that
the line will look like:
127.0.0.1 FQDN hostname localhost
and that's the way the default line you see reads. My FC9 development machine read:
127.0.0.1 nineiron.tmr.com nineiron localhost
while the FC10 machine says:
127.0.0.1 tenspot.tmr.com tenspot localhost
That's why "localhost" shows up twice, and at least back to FC6 it's been that
way for a while.
