[X2Go-User] Problem connecting from Mac to Linux

Hello,

I've used x2go on a very similar setup in the past but I'm running into a
problem on a new installation.  I've installed x2goserver on a CentOS 7.5
machine.  I'm trying to connect from a Mac running 10.13.  I can ssh
password free between the machines with no issues.  When I try to connect I
get this in my client window:

Error: Failed to resolve address of 'localhost'.

Loop: PANIC! Unknown remote host 'localhost'.

Error: Unknown remote host 'localhost'.

Session: Session terminated at 'Tue Nov 27 08:06:01 2018'.

On the server side, I see this in /var/og/messages:

Nov 27 08:06:01 valkyrie /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: successfully started X2Go
Agent session with ID dvicker-51-1543331158_stDMATE_dp32

We don't have the server machine in DNS yet so I'm using the IP address for
now.  I've made sure the IP address is in /etc/hosts of the server machine
and matches the hostname.

Any other ideas?  Is there a way to disable the host lookup?
