Public bug reported:
I want a desktop GUI method to change my hostname. So I apt-get install
gnome-network-admin.
But now when I go to System > Administration > Network, the program
network-admin says "Not authorized to make changes". I must manually
launch a shell and run "gksu network-admin". (This is using the admin
account created during install, which is a member of the admin and adm
groups.)
It should just prompt me for my password. I see no way to edit the
system hostname without going to a shell.
