Emacs-24.3.50.1 installed from "http://emacs.naquadah.org/"; on Debian.

During sudoing with tramp "/sudo::" it asks for a password with a prompt like:
"Password for /sudo:root@mynetworkhostname:"

So tramp is trying to ssh to remote host with name "mynetworkhostname"
as this is not localhost. This operation fails as I don't have sshd
running.

My fix is to set "tramp-default-host" to localhost:
(setq tramp-default-host "localhost")

So it works now.
