Package: xen-tools Severity: normal Why is /etc/hosts only set up for machines w/o dhcp? d-i sets up a basic hosts file for all machines. Machines with dhcp should still have the ipv6 stuff, and it makes sense for them to have a localhost entry as well. The following is the entry written by d-i:
127.0.0.1 localhost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts (There's also no particular reason why dhcp systems can't have static hostnames defined in /etc/hosts.) Also, I noticed that for non-dhcp systems, the code to copy over the /etc/hosts file will even copy lines like this one: 127.0.0.1 kodama.kitenet.net localhost kodama Which would be confusing it it reached a domU.. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- see shy jo
