sudo stopped work after some upgrade

dominik232 · 2012-07-04 16:42:43

Hi.
I had workable sudo with ALL privileges for my user.
After some upgrade my sudo gone bad. While I try to do command, it asks password 3 times and returns error (3 times bad password)
I cannot say what upgrade it was, because it was some time ago.

I tried reinstall, reset visudo config, and also checked for other user too, but nothing helped.

End of /var/log/auth.log file:

Jul  4 19:08:30 dell sudo: PAM no modules loaded for `sudo' service
Jul  4 19:08:33 dell sudo: PAM no modules loaded for `sudo' service
Jul  4 19:08:34 dell sudo: PAM no modules loaded for `sudo' service
Jul  4 19:08:34 dell sudo:  dominik : 3 błędne próby wprowadzenia hasła ; TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/dominik ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/su
Jul  4 19:08:37 dell su: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user root by dominik(uid=1000)

Reinstalling

pacman -S pambase pam

didn't help

Thanks in advice to any help.

That happened to me. I then ran pacman -Syu once more, which updated init scripts and that seemed to fix it---I didn't thoroughly investigate it. I figured there was some pam update that messed it up, but as the quick update fixed it, it was fine. I think I did pacman -Syyu (two y's forces it to refresh).

what is the output of

groups dominik

are you in wheel?

If you aren't add yourself, after doing so try to sudo and post output of

tail /var/log/syslog

I've also upgraded system again with

pacman -Syu

I've already tried to add myself to group wheel

dominik@dell:~$ groups dominik
wheel users

While instaling upgrade i notice this

ostrzeżenie: /etc/pam.d/login zainstalowano jako /etc/pam.d/login.pacnew

What means

warning: /etc/pam.d/login was installed as /etc/pam.d/login.pacnew

So what did you do about it?

Not that that's causing your sudo issue if that started some time ago.

Hi Dominik,

I had the exact same problem you did, I solved it with

pacman -S sudo

Hope this helps for you too,

dominik232 · 2012-07-05 18:38:04

I don't know what must I do with .pacnew file at all.

I already have reinstalled my sudo package and also pam and pambase.

Unfortunately this did not help on my other machine:s
I still do not know what exactly causes/fixes this problem, but after a combination of updating/rebooting(such that new initscripts are in effect)
and reinstalling sudo/pam and pambase it works for me again...
