Dear Bob

Sorry for response delay, these days I've been out of office.

These are the outputs:

grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns ldap

grep localhost /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

getent hosts localhost:
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely yours,
Pablo Pascual
