[LON-CAPA-admin] domain coordinator cannot log in on new system

[Lucas, Mark]

I have the following on one of my machines under /etc/hosts:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
132.235.208.235 capa2.phy.ohiou.edu     capa2
::1     localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

I remember this being an issue a long time ago, but can't remember if it's
a problem any more.
