close enough, but you want to add it on a positive match:

grep -Eq '^[[:space:]]*localhost\.localdomain[[:space:]]*$' &&
    echo 'localhost.localdomain' >> $hostsEquiv

(i see no point in putting it in a for localhost localhost.ld loop, 
since localhost is added *anyway*)

i say don't. we're making this bigger than it actually is. all that is 
needed is a freakin' gds_hosts.equiv, with a mandatory `localhost' 
(fine thus far) and an optional `localhost.localdomain'. we've been 
doing this mental masturbation on this latter one for the third day 
now. if you can't decide, just add it and be done with it for good. 
harm won't be done (that i can see right now :)
