Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sudo
Hello, I added myself to the sudo group: sudo usermod -a -G sudo myusername then used 'visudo' to modify /etc/sudoers according to the instructions in the comments (i.e. uncommented %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL line) then logged out and logged in again. But 'sudo' keeps asking for password. my karmic was installed from mini.iso image. $ sb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 $ apt-cache policy sudo sudo: Installed: 1.7.0-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.7.0-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.7.0-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Oct 25 19:02:14 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: sudo 1.7.0-1ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: sudo Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 ** Affects: sudo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- Cannot disable password authentication for sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
