Description of problem:

A user was having a problem installing the server:

The following operations may take some minutes to complete.
Please wait until the prompt is returned.                  
Configuring ntpd

  [4/4]: starting ntpd

  [2/13]: adding sasl mappings to the directory
root        : CRITICAL failed to add Full Principal Sasl mapping

The root of the problem turned out to be a bad entry in /etc/hosts

It would be helpful for debugging if we could do a consistency check of /etc/hosts with DNS, or include in error output what host we are trying to connect to. Something to provide a clue where the problem lies.
