  If I look in my inetd.conf I find the following:


  # ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for
  # your server if it's different than the one the program would get (i.e., use
  # "www" instead of the host's real name).
  #
  # Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you 
  # define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand
  # this, ask your network administrator.
  # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
  # You will have to access it by its address (e.g., http://123.45.67.89/)
  # anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.
  #
  # 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your 
  # machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for 
  # local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name.
  #
  ServerName www.la3sg.net


  If you have not done any editing, the ServerName is commented out.
  In that case I believe you will receive your error message.
