sudo: unable to resolve host [hostname]

Posted on March 17, 2014

Hi there,

I just created my first droplet today. I added an user and give it root privileges. Whenever I “sudo”, I get “unable to resolve host [myhostname]”. Although my command is executed fine, I still want to get rid of this?

Belows are my /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts

knguyen@knguyen:~$ cat /etc/hostname knguyen knguyen@knguyen:~$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
