Comment 19 for bug 632896

I don't see any troubles with the modification of /etc/hosts when I'm using GNOME programs. However, Sendmail, but maybe other programs, does a timeout so it takes a loooong time to just boot up.

The trick with "chattr +i" helps me to get a laptop (connected to wireless networks very often) that doesn't ask me to take a coffee when it boots up. Unfortunately, the hostname is so set to localhost.localdomain.
