For what it's worth, I don't use the new-fangled 127.0.1.1 or whatever.
I just have

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname

Where "myhostname" is whatever you named your box,
in /etc/hosts at the top, with the usual IPV6 stuff left in at the bottom.

Seems to work just fine. Personally I can't see the point of the
additional IP, but no doubt there's some excellent reason for adding it.
Since it works the old way, and I had issues with the new way, I just
shrugged my shoulders and reverted it...

Just as an aside, Leonard - many people have tried to help you since you
joined the list. I think complaining about volunteer help is a bit rich,
don't you?
