typing in /etc/hosts resulted in an error due to insufficient permission, even when logged in as root.

bash: /etc/hosts: Permission denied

changing my hostname to the same as my username seems to have made a difference in the initial problem, though. Now I am being asked for my administrative password again. I'll see if it stays on reboot.
