This makes sense for IPv6, but I'm not using IPv6.
Changing this to ...
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
...fixed a number of problems.
I actually had both the IPv4 and the IPv6 lines. I commented out the
IPv6 stuff.
Also, the IP address for the real hostname was broken too - I moved this
machine to another net and I forgot to update /etc/hosts
So I fixed both issues and now whysynth is working. I am not sure which
one was actually the cause.
I wonder why it's not using localhost, but the Ethernet address instead.
Thanks! :-)
