Hey, I have this problem too. I went into System > Administration > Network to change some settings and it changed my hostname in /etc/hosts from ubuntu to ubuntu.MSHOME. MSHOME is the network I'm on. It makes sudo and gksu stop working and the only way I can fix it is by restarting the comp and going to root shell and editing /etc/hosts manually.
