this would match "blahlocalhost.localdomain". How about:

  grep -q -E "^[[:space:]]*$h[[:space:]]*\$" $hostsEquiv \
	|| echo $h >> $hostsEquiv

Nice catch, anyway. The original code would match "localhost" both in
"localhost" and "localhost.localdomain".

I am wondering would it be easier to patch the stupid code that uses
gds_hosts.equiv to understand that if the other point of the tcp
connection is in 127.0.0.0/8, then it certainly is coming from the local
machine.

Or, get the lists of hostnames to add in gds_hosts.equiv by the output
of `getent hosts 127.0.0.1'. On my machine this returns:
  127.0.0.1       localhost beetle localhost.localdomain
This is subject to changes of /etc/hosts though, or DNS mockup...
