If you have a fixd IP address, make sure your /etc/hosts file contains at least these two lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost nnn.xxx.yyy.zzz linuxbox.localdomain linuxbox ...where "linuxbox" is the real name of your Linux box. These entries ensure that every process can properly resolve the IP address of "localhost" and the machine's real name. If you have a dynamic IP address, then your /etc/hosts should contain at least the following: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain linuxbox.localdomain localhost linuxbox ...which will resolve both names to the loopback address (127.0.0.1).
