Why does the system append the hostname in /etc/hosts instead of just changing it when using GUI ?
Issue
When using GUI with the commands:
# setup
# system-config-network
in order to change the hostname, /etc/hosts shows that the system automatically appends the new hostname instead of replacing the old one.
