localhost = loopback



Does anyone know why Linux opts to put a localhost entry in /etc/hosts 
using the loopback address even when an e0 is configured? I'm asking 
because I've seen BSD distros use the real ethernet assigned address and 
was curious as to the rationale for using the loop.

thanks -c
