Long story short, OP has a misbehaving Debian stretch installation with the hostname (as in - /proc/sys/kernel/hostname) set to 'localhost.localdomain'. /etc/hosts lacks such entry. /etc/resolv.conf points to an absent DNS. The result is - every execution of sudo has an added 30-second execution time 'bonus'. > I guess this is put there at time of installation.

Unsure about stretch, but they did so since etch. The question is - since 'localhost.localdomain' is special, what happens if such hostname is chosen during the installation? > IMO if you have working resolver it shouldn't matter much. Please read this thread's subject one more time. Last three words especially. Reco
