 |
|
Hi all,
Just accidentally I've looked to my /etc/hosts and I've found the following:
| Code: |
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/hosts,v 1.8 2003/08/04 20:12:25 azarah Exp $
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.10.10.1 pitr-int
10.10.10.2 dustpuppy-int
10.10.10.3 poseidon-int
134.68.220.30 toucan
# IPV6 versions of localhost and co
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I've made a 'whois' to 134.68.220.30 and I see:

Should I have to worry? (I think yes) It looks rather strange, since I have never modified the /etc/hosts file in this computer.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

Not neccessarily, afaik toucan is one of the internal Gentoo dev servers and this seems to be some leftover from release process or similar; nothing to worry about.
You can savely delete it if you want.

Ok, thanks a lot, I've just upgraded 'world', so I will remove it.
Thanks! |
