I am using the final version of Hardy and, like Iain, also have the habit to remove the password grace period. I also limit sudo password grace period to individual ttys, instead of global, by adding "Defaults:ALL tty_tickets".
I was driving nuts and almost ruined sudoers because I couldn't edit anything when "sudo visudo" (:i, Esc, :w, etc... nothing worked). Luckily I found this thread and the tip by Constantine Evans solved this issue. Sorry to say, but this is totally crazy! I love Ubuntu (especially Hardy where everything works great) but this "bug" is a real pain in the neck. -- "visudo" is completely unusable (/etc/sudoers can only be editted with an external text editor) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
