Hello Karl,

I believe instead of having "localhost" as your hostname, it must have a 
  visible hostname (hence the error).  So try this:

type hostname and see what's your hostname.  If you know your hostname 
by heart..good.  Also, if you have set your server with an internal 
static ip address, remember that too.

Then in the /etc/host.conf, replace the "127.0.0.1" with the actual ip 
address of that server and replace "localhost" with your server name.

Correct me if I'm wrong :)
