kismet - FATAL Could not connect to localhost:2501

Kismet server 2006.04.R1 under Fedora Core 6 (FC6). Compiled from source.

Everything worked except when the client tried to come up and I got this FATAL. Solution for me was to edit /etc/hosts (which was initially only )

::1 localhost.localdomain localhost

And add the line:

Now working fine.
