[ubuntu users] Strange new Information--Question 2

Using Ubuntu vs. 8.04 Hardy Heron upgraded from 7.10 CD's I recently ran
into a strange informational output that I guess started sometime in the
last 2 months on 8.04.  I've had 8.04 level operation for many months so
this informational output is new. What happens is that upon creating a
directory as in "sudo mkdir /media/sdc1/...." the message "Cannot
identify host" is generated and then and the directory is created.  A
typical directory creation would be:

"sudo mkdir /media/sdc1/SB_EXPORTS/UBUNTU-EXPORTS-Aug-wk04-2009"

This strange informational message recently started to occur where
before there was no message at all.

I am wondering if there has been some syntax changes regarding "mkdir"
that require some reference to the host.


Any insight on this phenomena would be appreciated.

Thanks -- Ted Hilts
