sudo - unable to lookup host via gethostbyname()
Hi all - I changed my hostname from callerio to callerio.piscat.nj and now when i invoke sudo i get the followin message: slamson@callerio:~$ sudo -v sudo: unable to lookup callerio.piscat.nj via gethostbyname() this follows across reboots, if however i echo callerio back into /proc/sys/kernel/hostname I no longer get that message... after giving that message sudo continues to function normally, whatever hostname is set to. Any idea what causes this? Shawn = Shawn Lamson Debian Gnu\Linux Sid Kernel 2.4.19-custom XFree86 Version 4.2.1 __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

Re: sudo - unable to lookup host via gethostbyname() SOLVED
Thanks Morten and Anthony; changing /etc/hosts to reflect the new hostname eliminated that error message.

Any idea what causes this? Shawn Have you made the necessary change in /etc/hosts? I've been caught in this way in the past.
