I had these messages, and the fix was in the /etc/sysconfig & /etc/hosts files. Basically, you have to check the 'hostname' value, and your ip address, and make sure it is entered correctly. Is your ip address static or dynamic? If dynamic, then there may not be much you can do about it. If its a static address you have, then the fix is a simple one.
