It seems that etherconf puts an entry of the form HOSTNAME.DOMAIN into /etc/hosts, and another of the form HOSTNAME into /etc/hostname. Manually making these the same stops confusing sudo. Whether this is a bug in etherconf or sudo, I have no idea. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
