root@(none)

[root () SECURITYFOCUS COM (root (none))]

hey there !!
I was mucking around with my basic host information seeing if it was possible
to core dump my settings to detemine if a host can acually fool the the
settings for a localhost configuration e.g 127.0.0.1,by putting a heap of
characters in the configuration box offcourse you will just core dump and youre
original setting will just stay the same rideing the dump but if you then
return and do the same but removing 10 to 15 characters and then regenerate
this you will core dump but you host configeration will accept the long
charateristic commands once it has been accepted no longer will you dns accept
127.0.0.1 or youre host config,also you will no longer be localhost you will
just be root@(none).
