hostname doesn't stick

This is what I was referring to.  I was surprised to find Fedora adding the
local host name to the localhost line.  It caused me problem (I do run samba) that totally 
disappeared when I split the line, keeping the localhost line
pure.



I suspect that would cause some sincerely erratic behavior, especially
once a real network was attached to the machine.

(And I suspect learning how to setup a local only DNS would be a good
mental limbering exercise. Good examples abound.)
