Unless you are using an ISP that supports IPv6, I suggest that you use 
the -ipv6 USE flag.  Also, I have noticed on two machines of mine that unless 
you place localhost at the end of the line in your /etc/hosts, you will 
get "This is wcw-gentoo.(none) (Linux i686 2.6. . . .)" when you login.  Your 
domain will not be recognised.
