While looking at this, I stumbled across the following code in ZConfig/datatypes.py: ## AJ: We change 'localhost' to '' to force Medusa to use ## any network interface instead of using only 127.0.0.1. This is ## a not totally clean solution :-/ See also Collector #1507. if os.name == 'posix' and 'localhost' in hostname.lower(): hostname = '' 2 things struck me: * 'localhost' in hostname.lower() appears odd - I would expect ==. * that we probably want to do that for windows too As the comments explicitly reference 1507 and the code references 'localhost', it may be worth examining too.
