I did not see the original post, but the other thing you must have is
that /etc/hosts must resolve local host to 127.0.0.1 too, along the
lines of

127.0.0.1       localhost

Make sure this is the *first line* that resolves localhost. If you've
checked /etc/host.conf you've probably done this too, but it never
hurts to ask.....

Cheers!
