Thanks for the help.  I was able to ssh to the localhost with out a problem.
I then figured out the problem was a typo in my /etc/hosts file on my
internal DNS server.  Matiss Elsbergs was right about my problem.  I should
have checked for typos a couple of days ago!!

Thanks for the help all,

John Hines
