        I'd rather it started with a valid line, I think having a second 
commented copy of all the config files in /etc and letting the programs 
parse a copy with _no_ comments is only marginally more hassle (at least 
for small numbers of hosts).

        I think this list has discussed the problems with having a hash 
as the first character in /etc/hosts.equiv before. This is the standard 
setup for Linux networking software.

PS. This said I use Linux, and heartily recommend it.
