This is a problem with your system, not logcheck. You need to ensure
that your systems hostname and its IP address is listed in /etc/hosts. I
seem to remember this being done by default with a new install, so I'm
not sure why you're any different.

hmm i have a fix in my tree.  but we could either ignore that error.
or send an error message to the user.
