Differences in the localhost entry in /etc/hosts on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems
Issue
-
On some servers there seems to be a difference in the default entry for 127.0.0.1 in
/etc/hosts
:127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
-
and :
127.0.0.1 svlirc16 localhost.localdomain localhost
-
What's the reason for this change?
