While not incredibly common, I used to occassionally see that happen on RH systems when you initially set them up to use DHCP and didn't provide a hostname.

Glad you figured that out,

The log:

listed for hostname localhost

Check your /etc/hosts entry for localhost?  The one shown in the error
(::1) is an ip6 address.  Ensure that you also (or only if you don't
need ip6) have one for 127.0.0.1:

$ grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain       localhost

Amazing, I didn't have an entry for 127.0.0.1, I thought that was
created when I installed Fedora.
Thanks
