OK, did that, this is the result:

address@hidden CERTI-3.4.0-Source]$ rtig

so it looks like hostname resolution is the issue.

Here is the result.

address@hidden CERTI-3.4.0-Source]$ host localhost
Host localhost not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Here is the content of my /etc/hosts file

address@hidden CERTI-3.4.0-Source]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
::1		localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

and my environment variables have 

HOSTNAME=hagar

which obviously does not seem to work.

I have tried

export CERTI_HOST=localhost

but this does not appear to work either.

What do I do to fix the /etc/hosts file?

I apologize for my ignorance of network set ups.  I am sure this is pretty basic for the
people typically tying to get CERTI up and running, so I do appreciate your patience!!
