Bug in the /etc/hosts - Localhost in syslog

[Navarre of Anjov <navarre@anjov.com>]

Hello List

I have discovered that, or it seems that, the installer is writting a 
/etc/hosts file record that causes the host name that is recorded in the 
 /var/log/syslog to be of the form of

Jan 28 00:38:48 localhost exiting on signal 15

after I corrected the /etc/hosts to read

127.0.0.1       nyssah

and retarted syslogd I got

Jan 28 00:38:49 nyssah syslogd 1.4.1#17ubuntu3: restart.

This seems to be in both the 5.1 Ubuntu and Debian Sarge but not in 
Debian Woody. As I was generally using the Woody installer and upgrading 
to Sarge I was not aware of the problem until recently.

Wilst not a show stopper it needs to be fixed.

I am nolonger on the mailing list and present this info incase it is not 
 known.
