hostid should be the authentication USER name, not the name of
a machine.  it sounds as though you answered `authid' to the
request `Enter the site authentication user id' (`Example: bootes').
if so, the installation did the right thing, rather than something
weird, but you've undone that, and put it into a strange state.
that might explain the subsequent problems with authentication.
change it back to authid.  see the end of auth(6) `Data Base'
for details on /lib/ndb/auth.
