Dear Niki.
It should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost calimero.local calimero
I slightly altered it:
[kikinovak@calimero ~]$ cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 calimero.local calimero localhost.localdomain localhost
[kikinovak@calimero ~]$ hostname calimero.local [kikinovak@calimero ~]$ hostname --fqdn calimero.local
Wouldn't this be more correct?
This is hard to decide.
From Slackwares /etc/hosts:
... # By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen agulbra@nvg.unit.no says that 127.0.0.1 # should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. ...
From: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/10/msg00387.html it should be set to:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain calimero calimero.local
Best Regards Marcus
