This sounds very similar to bug 32906, but this was fixed in hardy
(8.04).
I cannot reproduce this at all, if I remove "localhost" and my hostname
from /etc/hosts, both sudo and gksu still work fine.
To debug this on your side: do you also get the hang if you run "sudo"
in a root terminal? I. e. do
sudo -i
[ wait until you have a root prompt ]
sudo id
The second sudo shouldn't ask you for a password, but just print
"uid=0(root) ...". Does it hang? Does it give you any error message? If
it hangs, please do (in that root shell)
strace -o /tmp/sudo.trace sudo true
and attach /tmp/sudo.trace here.
** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
