Run 'hostname -fqdn' and see if you FQDN is what you actually want :-)
Also, I would have modified the line to say the following:
127.0.0.1 cxmr.dyndns.org cxmr localhost
Maybe that's unnecessary, I don't know.

Intellectual property (IP) has been driving the species for some five
million years. In the past 100 or so years, it's increasingly been saddled
with the chore of lining the pockets of middlemen and parasites who, sans
this lining, would lack sufficient intellect to open a can of beer.
