I saw a note elsewhere about /etc/hosts so I did check it. It has several mentions of localhost but whether it is accurate - I am not sure.

My computer domain (during initial installation of CentOS) was fire12.xxxxx.com.

The /etc/hosts file has this:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Is that sufficient or should there be mention of fire12.xxxxx.com ?

THANK YOU.
