just add any name like 'nexus' or 'exdus' after
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost:localdomain
i.e.
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost:localdomain nexus
i think i have seen scripts which actually reject localdomain as a hostname
....
(possibly, "any" other name might just work..")
btw, my similar problem did go away with this solution....
affly,
vava
