Please be on the look out for some network configuration tool in FC2
that leaves /etc/hosts without "localhost" entries. I just discovered
that my system /etc/hosts was blank with only the following lines after
using netconfig and neat several times switching between DHCP, static,
and dialup networking... so I don't know what caused it.
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
This seems to have exposed problems of robustness in services IIim and
sendmail. Investigating those now.
