Sudo / Python long start

[lap1nou]

Hello,

I think I found a bug in the Docker image, I'm not sure but Python scripts that requires sudo take a long time to run, for example the brute force utility patator or the Python 3 module http.server used to spawn a fast web server.

I think the root cause is that sudo try to resolve the machine hostname (no idea why), here is a screen when I run sudo in Exegol (which is useless since we are root):

However If I add the hostname of my container in the /etc/hosts file:

All 'long' command, become instantaneous, I have no idea why patator works better with this, since it doesn't have any links with sudo, same for http.server (except if you use port below 1024 ofc). I'm sorry if you don't encounter the same bug as me, or if this bug is fixed already (I got the last version of Exegol 4.0.2), anyway the potential fix would be the add the hostname during the build of the container, here is a post talking about this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38302867/how-to-update-etc-hosts-file-in-docker-image-during-docker-build, a possible solution would be to use the --add-host arguments during build, but I never tested it, I could potentially try to work on the problem if other people have the same issue as me.

(Now that I think about it, this issue is maybe more related to Exegol itself, tell me what you think)

Anyway thank you for Exegol.
