Package: sudo Version: 1.7.4p4-2 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze The sudo man-page states: Once a user has been authenticated, a time stamp is updated and the user may then use sudo without a password for a short period of time (15 minutes unless overridden in sudoers).
Since a few weeks this hasn't been happening on my system: every time I use sudo it requires authentication. My sudoers file doesn't do anything very special: ------------------- # /etc/sudoers # # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. # # See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file. # Defaults env_reset # Host alias specification # User alias specification # Cmnd alias specification # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL) ALL # Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password # (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move # it further down) # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL dhardy ALL=(ALL) ALL #includedir /etc/sudoers.d --------------------- Deleting /var/lib/sudo/$USER causes me to recieve the usual lecture on the next usage of sudo, but otherwise does not change behaviour. So I'm left presuming this is a bug in sudo? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules l sudo recommends no packages. sudo suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/sudoers.d/README [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/sudoers.d/README' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
