I have no luck with reproducing this issue (using sudo-1.7.2p1-6). Could you please try whether the following commands work for you? $ sudo -i which is similar to "sudo su -" $ sudo -s which is similar to "sudo su" Also, whatever the result of the commands above is, please run the "sudo su -" command via strace under root. Here is the command you can run, it will generate a logfile which I need for a better analysis of this problem: # strace -u lxadmin -o sudo-strace.log -f sudo su - Hello Daniel, thank you for your quick response and your hints. I have found what caused the problem and it was a side effect with our adapted environment in /etc/profile.d It is not a bug with sudo and I apologize very much for the inconvenience. You can please close the call.

Ok, no problem. Closing as NOTABUG. |
Created attachment 430257 [details] output from rpm -qil sudo and cat /etc/sudoers Description of problem: After the latest update of the sudo package to sudo-1.7.2p1 the command sudo su - does not work anymore. no matter if a user is config'd in /etc/sudoers with NOPASSWD: (as shown below) or if the passwd is required, the command sudo su - just logs out again. This breaks our process environment, so I am rating the severity high for us. lxadmin ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
