No idea, on any debian I installed local host maps to 127.0.0.1 This is the default from the last stretch install $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 fujitsu.mydomain fujitsu # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters Interesting to know why. If it is about localhost.localdomain .... no idea where localdomain is coming from. Perhaps if you install in a local network without domain, or if you do not enter any. The line in stretch 127.0.1.1 fujitsu.mydomain fujitsu is new to me, but computer works with local dhcp/dns, so why bother regards
