Yep, my /etc/hosts file was definitely changed:

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost

#<ip-address>	<hostname.domain.org>	<hostname>
127.0.0.1	arch
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost


That additional line at the start is definitely not mine...
