Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sven Sternberger 2013-12-09 09:13:41 UTC
Description of problem:
I use in my /etc/sudoers config file a line like this

ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/command

to allow all user to execute a command as root without password.

With the update to augeas 1.0.0-5.el6 this file can't be 
parsed/produced by augeas anymore due to a bug in the related lens.
/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/sudoers.aug

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a line like this to /etc/sudoers
ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/command
2. Call augtool
3. in augtool>
print /files/etc/sudoers
print /augeas/files/etc/sudoers/error/

Actual results:
The file /etc/sudoers isn't loaded by augtool, errors appear

Expected results:
The file /etc/sudoers is loaded by augtool

Additional info:
The problem is that user aliases with capital letters are not
allowed (in the example "ALL")

it is easy to find in the source

1.0.0-5.el6 version (buggy):
----------------------------
let sto_to_com_user =
      let nis_re = /([A-Z]([-A-Z0-9]|(\\\\[ \t]))*+\\\\\\\\)/
   in let user_re = /[%+@a-z]([-a-z0-9]|(\\\\[ \t]))*/
   in store (nis_re? . user_re)


1.1 version (correct): 
----------------------
let sto_to_com_user =
      let nis_re = /([A-Z]([-A-Z0-9]|(\\\\[ \t]))*+\\\\\\\\)/
   in let user_re = /[%+@a-z]([-a-z0-9._]|(\\\\[ \t]))*/
   in let alias_re = /[A-Z_]+/
   in store ((nis_re? . user_re) | alias_re)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
augeas-1.0.0-5.el6.x86_64
