I have a confusing problem. I have two centos 5,5 boxes. Both have
sudo.i386                                1.7.2p1-9.el5_5
installed

I am using the same sudoers file, but the one on box A keeps trying to do
DNS lookups while the one on box B does not. How do I disable this DNS
lookup?
    
  

Do both hosts have their hostnames in "/etc/hosts"?

Do both hosts have "hosts: files dns" in "/etc/nsswitch.conf"?

strace shows the  DNS lookup.

I have resolved the problem as far why they behaved differently.
Someone had put an entry in /etc/resolv.conf when normally we run our
own nameserver at 127.0.0.1.
Putting a hostname and address in the /etc/hosts also fixed the problem.

But I still don't understand why it wants to do a DNS lookup when I don't
have
Defaults fqdn
in the sudoers file.

Again here is part of an strace of sudo cat /etc/rc.local;
