Sorry, I should have said "... provides address 127.0.1.1 for..."

I have just filed bug #1015030 to suggest that nss-myhostname be used to
supply the
127.0.1.1
mapping instead of a line in /etc/hosts.

Those interested in this topic might want to read Debian bug report
#267321 which documents the introduction of the "127.0.1.1 "
line in /etc/hosts.
"Typo" drew our attention in #14 to nss-myhostname. That reminded me of
comment #96[0] in Debian bug report #267321 in which I said:

#0. The original report seems to be that
127.0.1.1 HOSTNAME
is not appropriate when the machine is on a local network.
That is not true. It is correct to resolve the local machine's
hostname to a loopback address.
The reason for choosing 127.0.1.1 as that loopback address
is that 127.0.0.1
You might also like to have a look at:
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-myhostname/
nss-myhostname is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name
resolution for the locally configured system hostname as returned by

Your /etc/hosts should look like this:
192.168.178.33 ubuntu # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

This bug is fixed in maverick. NetworkManager 0.8.1 automatically sets
the /etc/hosts file properly.

I just ran into bug 86021 because of the 127.0.1.1 line. XDMCP doesn't
like that line. Changing it to an IP address is an acceptable
workaround, but it isn't very user-friendly to have this included in
every manual about XDMCP (and maybe other services).

/etc/hosts: hostname alias of loopback
Just a question, I usually install and configure my public servers
inside my firewall using plain dhcp.
After I have them configured and self-firewalled, I move them to the
public net and hand assign them an IP in /etc/network/interfaces.
At this point, IIRC, I should edit /etc/hosts and replace

It is standard Debian and Ubuntu practice to add a line
127.0.1.1 foo
to /etc/hosts, where foo is the content of /etc/hostname. This ensures that the
system hostname is resolvable to an address for which it is the canonical
hostname
and an address, furthermore, where services on the local h

127.0.* addresses are reserved for loopbacks. The name for the loopback

It is highly unusual to use the hostname for a loopback address. The
