Something is definitely goofy in your setup then...

I think that looks okay.

Do NOT under any circumstances, EVER remove the 127.0.0.1 localhost 
mappings... Removing those is a big no-no. Didn't you read the lines right 
above the 127.0.0.1 line?:

$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
[snip]

Fix your hosts file and see if things don't start working again. That warning 
is there for a reason.

You shouldn't manually edit the database, unless you really know what you're 
doing.
