yes, /etc/conf.d/hostname is set to the correct name of the host.

actually there was a line:
127.0.0.1 localhost

We tried changing it to:
127.0.0.1 <name_of_host> localhost

and to:
127.0.0.1 <name_of_host>

The problem persisted and error message was the same. Ping to
"localhost.localdomain" does not resolve.

Any other guess?
