No, the name "localhost" should be in your /etc/hosts,
along with the hostname you selected. In this case,
something like
# for localhost:
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
# for your hostname:
127.0.0.1 bsdbox.local bsdbox
127.0.0.1 bsdbox.local.
would be okay. You can use ".my.domain" instead of ".local";
".localdomain" is okay, too.
