> When org.jboss.remoting.ident.Identity.get() fails in the call to InetAddress.getLocalHost(), it throws a RuntimeException like:
>    java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception creating identity: myhost: myhost
> This problem has been associated, at least in some cases, with problems in the /etc/hosts file.  The problem is that the message gives no clue that the underlying problem is a host name problem.
