Mine all do. Output of "netstat -r | grep localhost" is:
localhost localhost UH 1 6896 lo0
That's on a 5.8 box. Now of course in /etc/hosts I have:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
-- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient political clout can infect an entire organization."
