Product: sudo
Component: sudo
Summary: mcc starts without root password
Version: 1.6.6-2mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I run mcc on a remote machine for package update. These are the commands I run:
1. ssh <remote-machine> -l <non-root-username>
2. After login, I run "mcc" from commandline
3. It asks for root passwd. So far so good
4. mcc starts up after root passwd is given. I quit mcc.
5. Run "mcc" from commandline again. This time it starts without asking for root
passwd.
6. I quit mcc, logout of the remote machine.
7. Immediately, repeat steps 1 and 2. Mcc starts without asking for root passwd !!
Sudo default configuration is to accept to run commands that need elevetated
privilegied rights in the 5 minutes that follow a password success on the root login.
But should sudo continue to do so even after the remote ssh connection of the non-root
user
has ended ?
