Description

The change from commit:f3c6d83cbe5a7761d4be6d37533e09c6dc22f08c causes this to happen to my hosts files:

[vagrant@server ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    server.rudder.local.rudder.local.rudder.local.rudder.local.rudder.local.rudder.local server localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

The sed command ends up adding the ".rudder.local" suffix multiple times. It needs fixing.

Since Vagrant 1.3.0 (https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/v1.3.0/CHANGELOG.md#130-september-5-2013), provisionning script is run only at first boot of the VM.

then up the vm again does not call the provisionning script.

I don't think our provisioning script should be run after first boot, it would wipe datas from the vm (calling rudder-init.sh at the end), and if your goal was to make a fresh install, it would be better to wipe completely the VM.

However, I guess your right and the script should be less error prone when editing /etc/hosts
