Hi all,

Here we have a 7.2 system which is unable to resolve its own 'localhost' 
name. However, its network name works fine. Following are relevant configs. 
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but everything looks fine to me. Output 
is shown for host command only, but the same is true for any other command 
(ping, ssh, ftp, etc.)
