/etc/hosts/ has only one line and it is the 127.0.0.1 entry.

I just realized that at some other point yesterday, while screwing around as
root, I changed the permissions on all the folders in '/' to be usr.usr
instead of root.root or whatever they should be, so I think that this might
be the problem??  But it doesn't descend into the directories themselves ie
once you get into /etc/ the permissions ownership appear as they should.

So, Thanks for you help but I think from the aforementioned discovery my
best bet is to re-install Fedora.  Well at least I am discovering the
pitfalls of su - root early on in my installation and the re-install should
be relatively painless.

Thanks again for your help,
