Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1.

I ran nmap on my own system to see which port is used for a web interface.

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-06-08 15:26 CDT
Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1.
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 994 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE

The web interface is not working. My /etc/hosts looks like this. I don't see anything unusual about it.

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 lucid

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

What do you actually want help on?? the web interface?? What web interface?

I would assume he wants information/help with the Warning line, in red.

I assume it's because of the IPv6 line for localhost. Removing it should fix the warning. (No real reason to fix it, unless you don't want to see the warning, I guess.)
