No response of Sudo on Fedora 11
Problem
On Fedora11 installed via Vmware, sudo does not respond for thirty or fourty secs.
Solution
The cause is that sudo is looking up your hostname to DNS, and waiting until TIMEOUT event is fired. You can fix this problem by just adding your hostname to /etc/hosts
su - nano /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain <yourhost> <yourhost>.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain
