Are you using tcsh as your login shell? If so, that's the reason. A bug in tcsh which is now fixed caused it to resolve the hostname for some reason. Either get a new binary or add your hostname (and localhost) to /etc/hosts and have modify /etc/host.conf to use /etc/hosts first. > Has it something to do with the fact that I'm using tcsh as my login > shell? Yep. Natehelp
