# hosts		This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
#		mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly
#		used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#		On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
#		"named" DNS name server.  Just add the names, addresses
#		and any aliases to this file...

## This  file also provides a fast handy aliasing mechanism.   
## There's a few aliases provided that may help you get out 
## to what you need without a DNS.  cLIeNUX 19980918

# By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen <agulbra@nvg.unit.no> says that 127.0.0.1
# should NEVER be named with the name of the machine.  It causes problems
# for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^)
#
## Slack above, cLIeNUX below.


## so SuSE sets the hostname on 127.0.0.2. Good idea.
## 127.xxx is a class A isn't it? i.e. anything 127.xxx is localhost?

# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1		localhost
127.0.0.2	 	cLIeNUX
127.0.0.3		self
