Description

Hi,

The create_default_site function in the django.contrib.sites.management
module hardcodes example.com as the default site. I think this is potentially
harmful for users because it can be exploited remotely.

A better hardcoded value would be to use 'localhost' or socket.gethostname
as the default domain name. The attached patch implements the later for resolving
the default domain name.
