OEL 5.5 installed /etc/hosts file

Dude!Sep 5 2010 — edited Sep 6 2010
I installed OEL 5.5 and configured the IP address 10.0.0.5 and hostname asm.example.com using the installer.

It installed the following /etc/hosts file:

/etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 asm.example.com asm localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

I was wondering if it shouldn't rather look like:

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
::1 localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.0.0.5 asm.example.com asm
