Hey, that was quick. I only made that change yesterday.

As the error message says, your system's host name (as returned by the
hostname(1) shell utility) is not set correctly. What is its value?

An empty hostname ("") or a hostnames with the values "(none)" or "localhost"
are all considered to be invalid.

While I could consider "localhost" to be a valid hostname to some degree, it's
not unique enough so that, if the home dir is shared via NFS and multiple
machines with the hostname "localhost" access it, the log/error file (which
is now supposed to be unique per machine) wouldn't be really per-machine anymore.

Would including the "banned" hostnames be more informative to the user?
