I think *any* rewriting of /etc/hosts by Network Manager (or anything else for that matter) is simply *wrong*.
I have a local DNS server on my LAN which provides everything needed, in particular it provides an FQDN for my system. Thus my /etc/hosts is:- 127.0.0.1 localhost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters If Network Manager adds *anything* looking like a domain then it breaks my DNS and various things (like apache2 and leafnode) complain about not being able to find a domain name for my system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659872 Title: Aliases in /etc/hosts overwritten -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
