Description Michel Alexandre Salim 2013-12-17 07:32:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
Fresh installation of RHEL 7 beta x86_64, with only a single administrator user created and root password not set. After installation is finished I cannot use sudo, which after rescuing the system turns out to be because the rule in /etc/sudoers allowing members of %wheel to use sudo is still commented out

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sudo-1.8.6p7-7.el7.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fresh install of RHEL 7 beta, with root password unset but an admin user defined
2. Boot the newly installed system
3. Log in and try to use sudo

Actual results:
Attempt fails, user not authorized. While user is in %wheel, the group is not authorized to use sudo

Expected results:
Attempt should succeed -- 

Additional info:
In sudo 1.8.8-1 as shipped in Fedora 20 (and presumably whichever version is default in Fedora 19) the default is for %wheel to be able to use sudo with password
Comment 2 Phil Anderson 2013-12-30 22:46:43 UTC 
This got me as well.  It appears to be intentional (see bug 969373).  Just to confuse everyone, instead of using sudo we need to use pkexec on RHEL 7 by default.
