Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Comment 1 Martin Pitt 2022-06-25 16:14:50 UTC
This should not (primarily) depend on authselect. ID 1022 sounds like a local user, not one centrally managed by FreeIPA. Do you have some customized sudoers file? The default /etc/sudoers has this rule:

    ## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
    %wheel	ALL=(ALL)	ALL

Does that exist for you? If so, then this is somehow a sudo bug (and I'll reassign). Otherwise, do you remember customizing it? If you definitively didn't, I'll reassign to authselect. Cockpit does not touch sudoers, and IMHO the UI is rightful to assume that wheel membership means administrative rights, as per documentation [1].

Thanks!

Thanks -- this all looks expected. At this point I'm afraid I don't know how to debug this further. sudo maintainers, is there a way to make sudo more verbose?
