entry in /etc/hosts

Hello all,
I´m on Red Hat Enterprise Server 4.5
I´m wondering if it is possible to disable the need to add every IP machine entry in the file /etc/hosts to allow it to connect to Red hat?

I´m getting "where are you?" message. This is solved adding the machine ip where I´m working.

Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.

Hello all,
I was able to fix the rexec service adding the parameter -D to the execution line, and restart inetd service.
