Todd,

Changing your PATH would have been a better way to fix this.  Once you
change a script that is included in the LDM distribution, you will need
to change the same script each time you upgrade your software.  By
changing the PATH in your .cshrc file, you only have to make the change
once.

Did you (or someone else) modify the /etc/hosts file entry for localhost?
For reference, this should look like:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost

The other possibility is that you are using NIS/NIS+ and you do not
have your system configured to search the local /etc/hosts file (in
addition to the NIS server) to resolve names.
