hosts file error
If I do a fresh install of RH 6.1 the hosts file ends up being one line that looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost php1@softdesigns.com
I have to edit it to look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.10 php1@softdesigns.com php1
I entered the 192.168.1.10 address during the install process. I entered php1@softdesigns.com as the host name during the install process.
What could I have done wrong during the install that would make rh 6.1 create an invalid hosts file. Or is the one line host file valid in some sence of the word.
Is this a bug or a normal administration chore?

I'll to to cs to ask zx9r to get his points to as he was first. jevie is and has been working on several major projects and has the most complete answer
if the domain name is softdesigns.com then the host name would be php1.softdesigns.com and not php1@softdesigns.com
Anyway the installation program would must check this error... perhaps in future versions ?
