Bug Description

Hi, I recently installed Hardy Heron Alpha 3. During the install I changed hostname to, say, "myhostname". After reboot I wasn't able to use sudo, because it was giving me error: unable to resolv hostname. My problem, and solution is identical to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9471, except the mentioned one is from 2005 and is closed as fixed.
