Leafnode uses gethostname() to figure the host's name and then
gethostbyname() in an attempt to qualify it.

The name is form wherever your /etc/nsswitch.conf's "hosts:" line tells
your resolver to look. Commonly that's "files nis dns" or "files
dns". files means /etc/hosts.

However, upgrade to 1.9.25, it should be able to skip over 127.0.0.1
address provided it has any means to figure the proper hostname.

Note that 1.9.19 can corrupt your data.
