To make Sudo stop complaining, your hostname *and* FQDN should be listed
in /etc/hosts:

127.0.1.1 dur.bounceme.net dur

I don't know inn2 well enough to know what it's trying to do, but that
may help (though I see this is how it was configured before). Sudo will
only be warning; it'll carry on even if it can't resolve its hostname.
