I'd bet it's a pain in the ass firewall. Make sure iptables isn't

iptables is not running. At all.
hmm. Interesting.
Ensure this is not the case. This is broken, broken, broken. Bad redhat,
BAD! NO BISCUIT. It causes things to open up sockets on localhost only.
It's a stupid idea and i wish redhat would stop doing it. But I digress.
What should I do, get rid of it? Leave the 127.0.0.1 localhost part?
Leave the 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain part. Then add a
line that has the actual IP of the machine, e.g.
10.34.102.130 chainsaw chainsaw.ads.invitrogen.net
I hacked up a version of initscripts that took this from DHCP if the
machine was DHCP. It uses a metafile /etc/hosts.in to generate
/etc/hosts every time the lease is renewed, so the IP information in the
file is always correct. I don't know why redhat didn't think of
something like that. My haxx-up is against fedora core 5, though, so i'm
not sure how useful a patch will be to you. Let me know if interested.
