Strictly speaking, the only entries that need to be in the /etc/hosts file
are those which cannot be resolved via DNS, or which will need to be resolved
when DNS is not available. Typically, these are the entry for
localhost/127.0.0.1 and the hostname of the machine itself.
Personally, I like to also put entries for my local name servers, the global
root name server, my default gateway, and the hops between me and my ISP's
network access point. These can all come in very handy when the network goes
down and/or DNS stops working, and you're trying to figure out just where the
heck things went wrong. :-)

Red Hat decided to switch to xinetd instead of traditional inetd for 7.0.
You want /etc/xinetd.conf now. Be aware that the syntax is very different.

xinetd has a number of features which make it superior to traditional inetd,
so I cannot really say Red Hat made a bad call on this one.
