It looks to me like you don't have DNS correctly configured on that
machine. Every machine should be able to resolve "localhost" as
"127.0.0.1" --- that's standard. Look at name resolution settings,
/etc/resolv.conf, that sort of thing.

(BTW, what in the heck is "zeta"? I don't think it's really BeOS;
we dropped support for that thing several PG versions back.)
