+# 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" name server. Just add the names, addresses
+# and any aliases to this file...
+#
+# 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. :^)
+#
+
+# For loopbacking:
+
+127.0.0.1 localhost
+
+# This next entry is technically wrong, but good enough to get TCP/IP apps
+# to quit complaining that they can't verify the hostname on a loopback-only
+# Linux box:
+
+127.0.0.1 @HARDWARE@.example.org @HARDWARE@
+
+# End of hosts.
