Thanks, this did it. I changed my /etc/hosts file on each node from 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1 <hostname> to just switch the order with 127.0.0.1 <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain This did the trick! I vaguely recall from somewhere that I need the localhost localhost.localdomain line so I thought I better avoid removing it altogether.
