The most wierd bug I've ever seen. "sudo" starts to malfunction for no
reason. I never touched the postfix/sendmail config, they are as the
default installation of Ubuntu 8.10 x64 puts them. My laptop is an Asus
F3JC.

No idea why /etc/postfix/main.cf disappeared. I can't use synaptic/apt-
get/aptitude.
