This really was helpful; "localhost.localdomain" was in the hosts file

- just like you suspected I believe:

laberbris.uio.no# diff hosts hosts~
3c3
< 127.0.0.1             localhost
---
> 127.0.0.1             localhost.localdomain localhost

I don't know why I didn't check and how it was put in there.
