Ugh. I much prefer leaving 127.0.0.1 for localhost only, and have the
machine see that it's own IP address is the same as what anybody outside of
the machine sees, ie. 130.95.13.18.

Listing the hostname before the FQDN in /etc/hosts doesn't seem to break
anything other than hostname -f, and I'm tempted to think this is hostname's
fault. :P
