/etc/hosts file becomes empty after KPPP connects to the Internet

Hello everybody,
My /etc/hosts file contains :
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
I have observed that whenever I run KPPP the contents of /etc/hosts file gets
deleted as a result during the next reboot I get the error
httpd [failure]
I have to type the contents again or copy some backup copy of that file back to
/etc directory ?
Any clue why is this happening ? I tried to make the file readonly chmod 444
/etc/hosts without any success.
What should I do to rectify this ?
Thanks in advance
