SSH syntax is usually 'user@location'. Looks like it is prompting you for the password of the user 'localhost'. Try using your username at localhost instead....

If no username is specified as an option, by using user@host, then ssh will imply the local user executing the ssh command..
Try increasing verbosity with -vv, for more debugging information
also try using the IP if /etc/hosts is (for some reason) wrong

Funny, I'm getting
Code:
ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
which means I can't try to connect at all
BUT
you should really try the syntax:
Code:
ssh -vv -l 'username' hostname
to see what's happening while SSH establishing connection.
