[leafnode-list] fqdn problem

[Eric S. Johansson]

  Jul 17 02:40:51 redhat-1 xinetd[25746]: START: nntp pid=25768 from=192.168.8.181
Jul 17 02:40:51 redhat-1 leafnode[25768]:  Leafnode must have a fully-qualified 
domain name, not just "localhost.localdomain". Edit your /etc/hosts file to add 
a fully qualified domain name.
Jul 17 02:40:51 redhat-1 xinetd[25746]: EXIT: nntp signal=6 pid=25768 
duration=0(sec)

*what* is it bitching about??  I've set hosts...

192.168.8.238    redhat-1.harvee.com

set the only server definition I could find
server = redhat-1.harvee.com

it was working fine before I turned on a virtual ethernet interface.  I bound 
xinetd to the main interface but still no joy.

help??
