[PLUG] redhat's /etc/hosts - please tell me what your loopback line looks like


If you have RedHat 6.1 or newer, please mail me the output of 

 grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts

Older versions had an /etc/hosts file with a 127.0.0.1 line that looked
like:

 127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain	localhost

Which caused problems for anything that expected 127.0.0.1 to resolve as
"localhost" (which it should).  So I want to know if they fixed it before
I try to send in a bug report.

If it's fixed, it'll look more like:

 127.0.0.1       localhost       localhost.localdomain
