22 Check your ~/.ssh/config. For example:
23
24 $ ssh localhost # works fine, but
25
26 $ mv ~/.ssh/config ~/.ssh/config.bak
27
28 $ cat -v config.test
29 Host *
30 HostName "%h ^H"
31
32 $ mv config.test ~/.ssh/config
33
34 $ ssh localhost
35 ssh: Could not resolve hostname localhost: Name or service not known
