Bug ID: 48105
Summary: "sudo chown ..." asks for password which doesn't exist
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: tools
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Tools accounts have a sudo rule to claim ownership of their entire directory
structure:
| local-wikilint@tools-login:~$ sudo -l
| Matching Defaults entries for local-wikilint on this host:
| env_reset
| User local-wikilint may run the following commands on this host:
| (local-wikilint) NOPASSWD: ALL
| (root) NOPASSWD: chown -R local-wikilint:local-wikilint
/data/project/wikilint/
| (local-wikilint) NOPASSWD: ALL
| local-wikilint@tools-login:~$
However, despite "NOPASSWD", it still asks for one:
| local-wikilint@tools-login:~$ sudo chown -R local-wikilint:local-wikilint
/data/project/wikilint/
| [sudo] password for local-wikilint: [^C]
| local-wikilint@tools-login:~$ sudo -u root chown -R
local-wikilint:local-wikilint /data/project/wikilint/
| [sudo] password for local-wikilint: [^C]
| local-wikilint@tools-login:~$
As tools accounts don't have passwords, that's kind of an impasse :-).
