Package: sudo-ldap
Version: 1.6.9p12-1
Severity: important
I've detected that sudo-ldap uses 'localhost' for looking up the 'sudoHost'
entries when the hostname is present in the lookpback (127.0.0.1) line of
/etc/hosts.
Symptoms:
- 'sudoHost' check fails
- 'sudo -p %h' shows 'localhost'
Solution:
- Just removing the hostname from the line, or changing the IP of the
line (to e.g. 127.0.1.1) solved the problem.
The '127.0.0.1 localhost' can be left as-is.
Thanks,
Lluis

I'm closing this with no further action taken since the chain of emails makes
it clear to me that this is not so much a bug in sudo-ldap as confusion over
how /etc/hosts should be structured vs what gets returned by various libc6
functions.
