[OpenIndiana-discuss] extra entry in /etc/hosts after each reboot

[wim at vandenberge.us]

Hello,

An Open Indiana server that has been running fine for months suddenly started to
exhibit weird and annoying behavior. Each time it is rebooted an extra line is
added to the /etc/hosts file.

The correct file is :

10.0.9.21 st01a st01a.local
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost

after the first reboot the file reads:

10.0.9.21 st01a st01a.local
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
127.0.0.1       st01a

At this point the interface is still correctly plumbed so the change to the file
obviously occurred after the interface came up. After the second reboot the file
reads:

10.0.9.21 st01a st01a.local
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
127.0.0.1       st01a
127.0.0.1       st01a

At this point the interface is plumbed with the 127.0.0.1 address and the
machine is essentially unreachable over the network. This machine is a plain
OpenIndiana install with napp-it on it.

Its replica, installed at the same time and configured identically, is not
exhibiting this kind of behavior. I've been searching where during start-up this
is occurring but have not been able to find anything yet.

Any ideas?
