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.
