Description James Roffino 2007-09-23 22:43:17 UTC
Description of problem:
typing sudo in  terminal followed by a command FAILS to work properly because
the root password is rejected. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I do not know how to obtain the version release number.

How reproducible:
The root password is rejected every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo make test && make install
2. (entering my root password, which I will not type here)
3. 
  
Actual results:
password failed. after three attempts it forces me to retype the command.

Expected results:
I expect my password to work, dammit.

Additional info:
please contact me at my email address if you require additional information, and
let me know how I can get more imformation to give you, such as the version numbers.

I'm using a new install of the latest Fedora Core 7 distro.  I'm new here so
please be gentle i I'm actually doing everything wrong. I just hate having to
log in as root to install something I want to use on my user account (in this
case, Perl).

Comment 1 Karel Zak 2007-09-24 06:20:05 UTC
man sudo:

  sudo requires that users authenticate themselves with a password by default
  (NOTE: in the default configuration this is the user’s password, not the
  root password).
