I kept getting the same one and traced it into /etc/netstart enough to
be able to change it so it gives a different error message ... :-)

I was under the impression that by convention you would only have the
actual hostname, not the domain name here? The domain goes in
/etc/defaultdomain, right? 

What if you're only networked by means of dynamic-IP PPP? Then you
can't put any numbers in /etc/hosts, other than 127.0.0.1, or can you?
(Why do I see 127.0.0.0 here, doesn't that mean the entire netblock?)

Thanks for this tip, though.
