About hosts file !
Friends ,
In '/etc/hosts' file I got the below line , "::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6" Would anybody plz tell me , what is the meaning of this line ? And If I disable/delete , what problem can be happened ? Waiting for kind reply ... ... |
I have never seen such a line in an /etc/hosts file, particularly the ::1 section, which should really be an IP address (though maybe that's shorthand for an IPv6 address of all-zeroes except for the last chunk, which is a one, and means localhost)
In fact, the more I think about it, it looks like the IPv6 equivalent of: Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost Typically the hosts file contains IP-to-name mappings, and optionally, alias(es) to those names, such as: Code:
123.222.111.123 sillysite.com silly Sasha EDIT: I edited the post after pondering the IPv6-ness of the line. You may want to Google up something like "IPv6 hosts file" and see what turns up. |
