On 01-Dec-98 Pawan Singh spluttered:
#  And my system name does appear in the /etc/hosts file. The file
#  looks like
#  this:
#  127.0.0.1    localhost
#  192.168.0.1   cosmo

You need to make sure that the exact same name that is listed in
/etc/sysconfig/network for the "hostname" is listed in /etc/hosts.

Here's a few lines from my /etc/hosts file:

# Reference: Olaf Kirch, Linux Network Administrator's Guide
#            see pp. 62ff.
# 
# IP            FQDN                    aliases

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

and my hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network is "localhost.localdomain"
(minus the quotes).
