Package: sudo Version: 1.6.8p7-1.1 Followup-For: Bug #273467
I don't think the user should be mailed if the hostname can't be looked up. I use sudo on my notebook which is frequently disconnected from the network. When it is disconnected, the hostname cannot be resolved, and every use of sudo results in a mail to root. This is irritating and drowns out potentially more important messages. I've seen a suggestion that the hostname should be placed on the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts, but that is a bad idea in general, and several other packages will not function correctly if this is the case. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
