Aren't we whistling past the graveyard here? Why the hell should a system upgrade cause a sudo failure?? Or am I an idiot for wondering why the adminsitrator should be locked out of his system because he was bold enough to upgrade? Has any one bugged this? Or asked why even?

*brain-break* Shouldn't that be 127.0.0.1?
Nope. 127.0.1.1
Why is Localhost 1.1 in Ubuntu instead of 0.1 as is the norm?
Enquiring minds and all that :)
localhost is still 127.0.0.1, the name of the machine is 127.0.1.1
Ahh! I wasn't aware of that. I learned something today *grin*
And I have no idea why. Googling only comes up with problems caused by it..
no explanation of why they set things up this way.
Hmmm - interesting.
