   up.  
3) Pop-up window on black background "An error has occurred in the Data and
   Time module.
4) This is followed by a Traceback and prompt to report to bugzilla.
5) See the attached image firsttime.jpg for a picture of the error.
6) Contents of the firstboot.1030230371.23 specified in the image is here:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 153, in __init__
    vbox, eventbox = module.launch()
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/modules/date.py", line 75, in launch
    self.setupScreen()
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/modules/date.py", line 64, in setupScreen
    self.datePage = date_gui.datePage(self.dateBackend)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-date/date_gui.py", line 171, in __init__
    ntpServer = socket.gethostbyaddr(ntpServerIP)[0]
TypeError: gethostbyaddr() argument 1 must be string, not None

7) This happens on all servers the first time the system boots after an 
install only.  After that, the system seems to work normally.  This is new
with Beta 4 and not seen previously.
