That's what I do, since I know from this odd behaviour, and I tell it to everyboy who wants to install RHEL, but a collegue says he did so and
got this problem;and some of our customers too, even they got computers with preinstalled and configured RHEL3. But they do change the hostname,
and if something like the suspicious line happens, none of our applications will work.
