Basically, I would like to limit sudo usage to this machine, whether it be the console F1 thru F6, or virtual terminals (gnome-terminal usually).

sudoers allows the option of limiting venue to a particular hostname. I don't know how to tell what hostnames I have, and ifconfig only lists the devices along with their associated specs, minus hostnames.

I know I have localhost for lo. And eth0 is assigned [EMAIL PROTECTED], but this infrequently changes.

I don't recall how to set an _extra_ hostname, or even *if* it can be done.

Every path I think to try, eventually leads me to dead ends. I may have already encountered what I need, but just didn't recognize it for whatever reason.
