[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] gethostbyname() ?? Unable to become root

[From: krischan.keitsch at alumni.tu-berlin.de]

Hi

When I try to become root in an xterminal (sudo su -, or sudo gainroot) it 
often fails and I end up with this error message.

"unable to lookup Nokia770-39 via gethostbyname()"

I have no clue what this means since it used to work just fine with the first 
version of itos 2006 using instructions from
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot 
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot2

Any hint is appreciated! Thanks!

Regards

Krischan
