[Xymon] Whoops ! Failed to load current Xymon status, (Cannot resolve hostname)

[Jerry Shenk]

yes, it's a new installation and that is exactly what it sounds like.  The
error says "Cannot determine IP address of message recipient (127.0.0.1)".
How can that be?....that's the localhost and, that's the only xymon
computer.  I can ping 127.0.0.1 and connect to port 1984 and, I can even
connect using bb and pull hostinfo (/usr/lib/xymon/server/bb --debug
10.100.10.219 hostinfo).  That command also works using 127.0.0.1 and
ma-mrtgmon (the name of the xymon server).
