Our infrastructure has a Kickstart server which can serve up RHEL6 builds with some post-installation scripting that handles customization and configuration. I'm currently in the process of updating the scripting to handle RHEL5 for those few instances that require it.
At this time, I have disabled the automatic execution of the scripts on a RHEL5 test build so that I can run them manually and evaluate output and errors.
I'm seeing an odd thing that I've never encountered before. On this clean build, the /etc/hosts file has an entry for a public IP (presumably one of our service provider's). I have no idea how it is getting added. NetworkManager isn't configured to run and I don't think it even has the ability to do that. I'm also pretty sure this is not default behavior for any version of RHEL.
Has anyone seen this before or have suggestions as to what I should be looking at to prevent it?
