Title:
sudo wont give up asking for you password even after several worng
attempts or if you are not a sudoer
Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: sudo
I have my Ubuntu 8.10 up to date (as in now) and I was trying a
command (any command will do) with the wrong user (not a sudoer) under
the sudo root-like privileges
I would expect something like this if I type the wrong password:
bzruser@ubuntu810:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for bzruser:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for bzruser:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for bzruser:
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
Or this, if I do not type any password (just press enter):
bzruser@ubuntu810:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for bzruser:
Or this, if I am not a sudoer:
bzruser@ubuntu810:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for bzruser:
bzruser is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
But instead, what I get is a never ending...
[sudo] password for bzruser:
No matter how many times I type or not the password, right or wrong...
until I press a ^C (Ctrl+C)
This used to work fine up until 8.04
