Apparently still present in RC. As a clarification, users present in /etc/passwd can still sudo just fine. Users present only via ldap cannot.
My suspicion is that the initial reporter had, as Scott G. suggested, the user present both via ldap and /etc/passwd, with the result that hitting the local file first (via compat) made it work, versus hitting ldap first makes it break. passwd: files ldap ..does not work for me (with the user present only via ldap). passwd: files compat ldap ..also does not work: > sudo ls /tmp sudo: setreuid(ROOT_UID, user_uid): Operation not permitted Yuck. Perhaps sudo/sudo-ldap are more appropriate packages ? It appears to be sudo-ldap 1.7.2-2 related (See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545414) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #545414 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545414 -- NSS using LDAP on Karmic (alpha 4) breaks 'su' and 'sudo' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
