Hi everyone!
I updated to passwd-20031026-2 last night, and after that, one of the builds failed (for unrelated reasons). However, when I went to continue with the build, I received an error that my user was not in the sudoers file:
minime:/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo jhiggs$ fink install db3-dev gnome-python-py23
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install db3-dev gnome-python-py23
Password:
jhiggs is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
minime:/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo jhiggs$ sendmail: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter setgid_group: unknown group name: postdrop
Previously, this had been working, and the only thing that has changed is the installation/update of passwd.

Have you looked what your users and groups are looking like, with "nidump group ." etc?

Sorry, probably shouldn't lay all the blame on passwd, but that's the only thing that has changed... I'm jumping to conclusions.

Are you sure there is not something else wrong, like a destroyed symlink /var->/private/var or an otherwise damaged netinfo database?

minime:/ jhiggs$ ls -al ... lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 80 11 31 Oct 00:30 etc -> private/etc ... lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 80 11 31 Oct 00:30 var -> private/var

That seems to be OK.

What are the default settings for /etc/sudoers? Is it the admin group that is allowed access? According to the nidump output, I'm still in the admin group, I think, so it should be ok...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
