  Modified files:
    etc                  hosts 
  Log:
  Backout revision 1.9 that added `myname.my.domain' as another alias for
  `localhost'.  If your /etc/nsswitch.conf has ``hosts: files dns'', and
  you changed `myname.my.domain' in /etc/hosts to match hostname(1), and
  you run inetd(8) with the -l option, any connect to `myname' using its
  real IP address through inetd(8), e.g. `ftp -a myname', will spam your
  /var/log/messages with:
  
  inetd[PID]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 23: host name/name mismatch: myname.my.domain != localhost
  
  This is especially bad for -STABLE, where /etc/host.conf defaults to
  "files first then DNS" resolution order.
