Yes, localhost can be pinged.  The man page for "hosts" stipulates that 
the file "hosts" must be owned by fax.  ls -l tells me it is owned by 
uucp, not fax, even after I chown it to fax.  Could this be the problem?  
Otherwise, all looks fine -- the two entries in hosts are
  localhost.localdomain
  127.0.0.1
as one would expect.
