I went for broke, as I posted earlier in the week, and installed the FC6 bind rpms and the system-setup* rpms and this crate runs smooth. I would hazard a guess that any one with weirdness going on, on their network, network printers, file sharing, you name it, might be in those packages. I notice that it tried to update you from 30:9.3.2-20 and it would have taken you to 2-35 I think it was. That's where it went to Hell. I'm using 2.41 from FC6 and it's great. No more strange stuff in hosts, either. All weirdness gone.
