If I'm right, you have recently installed Redhat 6. Something like TCPD is
unable to resolve your origin address (127.0.0.1). I suggest you add an
entry to your reverse DNS table for it. I fought far to much with this over
the weekend. Mind you I had more of a problem with long (> 2 mins) timeouts on
this.
