Package: cloud.debian.org Severity: minor Hello everybody,
while updating from Squeeze to Wheezy an image created by ec2debian-build-ami, I was interrupted by dpkg to manage the update of /etc/sudoers as it was locally modified by ec2debian-build-ami to add the following line: admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL At first I thought that it could be simplified by simply adding the admin user to the sudoer group, however this does not work as the admin user does not have a password, and by default, sudo will ask for one to the members of the sudo group: %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL However, I note that in Ubuntu, a password is not asked, despite that the configuration is very similar (using the group admin instead of sudo). %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL Does anybody know how to allow passwordless access to the members of the sudo group without modifying /etc/sudoers ? This would simplify the interactive upgrades of our virtual machines.
