Hello,
It seems in F10 the hostname and DNS domain name are now being added as alias at the end of 127.0.0.1 definition, ala
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost f10.domainname.com f10
which unfortunately breaks kerberos in its keytab lookups.
Every F10 install I did had a bad /etc/hosts file in the way you describe. Easy enough to fix but not for Aunt Tilly - tho she may not care and desktop impact is probably lowish.
However this does impact other services as well (squid/apache and others). I had terrible problems with some daemons inappropriately listening on 127.0.0.1 and not on the real IP until I fixed the hosts file.
It appears this was a know problem, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474086, and was resolved by adding the non-FQDN hostname to the end of the 127.0.0.1 line.
This resolution does indeed fix the problem I was seeing with the kerberos libraries.
