Do you have made changes to /etc/sudoers? Yes, I've got exactly one entry in my sudo file: daryll ALL=(ALL) ALL Sudo prints the message saying the permission is wrong right away, but waits a minute before exiting. I can not reproduce this problem at all. sudo is coming back without any delay. I recently installed FC3T2 and it still happens for me. Obviously there's something else involved here. The length of time sounds like a network timeout. If you can't reproduce it, I guess it's something peculiar to my machine. Are you using nis or ldap? Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received the feedback we requested, we will assume the problem was not reproduceable or has been fixed in a later update for this product. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: If the permissions are set wrong on /etc/sudoers to something other than 0440 will cause sudo to hang for a long time any time it is invoked. Since it ignores ctrl-c and ctrl-z it ties up the console. I understand forcing a delay when sudo is use inappropriately but: 1) This is a configuration error not a user trying to break it. 2) This is a really long delay. I thought it had hung completely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sudo-1.6.7p5-26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Become root 2. chmod u+w /etc/sudoers 3. sudo Actual Results: It prints that the permissions are wrong then just hangs and ignores ctrl-c and ctrl-z Expected Results: It should print a message and quite after a short period of time.
