Package: sudo Version: 1.8.15-1.1 Severity: normal Current versions of sudo fail to honour the NOPASSWD directive set for a user/host/command set in /etc/sudoers:
sudo -n apt-get update sudo: a password is required /etc/sudoers says: xxx xxxx=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/apt-get (of course, in the sudoers I have the real user and host names) I haven't changed the sudoers, so it must be a recent undocumented change in programme behaviour. The same configuration works just fine in Arch Linux. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libaudit1 1:2.4.5-1 ii libc6 2.21-9 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.2 ii libselinux1 2.4-3 sudo recommends no packages. sudo suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/sudoers [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/sudoers' /etc/sudoers.d/README [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: u'/etc/sudoers.d/README' -- no debconf information
