I now have two customers whose Macs are reporting kCFURLErrorCannotFindHost when trying to connect to “localhost”; 127.0.0.1 works, however.

@mjtsai /etc/hosts gone?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 8 Aug 2012

@soryu2 My guess is that /etc/hosts is gone or damaged, but these were non-technical users who wouldn’t have intentionally touched it.

@mjtsai Are they running 10.8?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 8 Aug 2012

@stevenygard Yes.

@mjtsai Check that /etc still points to private/etc - I'm experiencing symbolic link corruption on 10.8.
