Description Daniel Kopeček 2016-06-21 12:03:26 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1318374 +++

Description of problem:
If user uses locale like cs_CZ.UTF-8 and sudo is configred to use passwd_timeout to seconds, like 0.1 = 6s. sudo command uses user's locale to parse this number and prints error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sudo-1.8.6p3-19.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # echo "Defaults passwd_timeout = 0.1" >> /etc/sudoers
2. $ LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 sudo bash

Actual results:
$ LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 sudo bash
sudo: value `0.1' is invalid for option `passwd_timeout'
[sudo] password for test:

Expected results:
$ LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 sudo bash
[sudo] password for test:

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.
Comment 3 Tomas Sykora 2017-02-21 12:02:38 UTC 
This bug was fixed by upstream: https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/c8deb0da75b4. The sudoers locale is now set before parsing the sudoers file.
