[Solved] PAM errors in /var/log/errors.log
I'm getting a ridiculous amount of PAM errors in my /var/log/errors.log file since sudo was updated to 1.8.3-1.
They look like this:
Oct 27 14:36:34 localhost sudo: PAM pam_set_item: NULL pam handle passed
Oct 27 14:36:34 localhost sudo: PAM pam_setcred: NULL pam handle passed
Oct 27 14:36:34 localhost sudo: PAM pam_open_session: NULL pam handle passed
Oct 27 14:36:34 localhost sudo: PAM pam_end: NULL pam handle passedAnyone else getting these or know a fix? My /var/log/errors.log file went from around 2.5kb to 30mb in a couple of days...doesn't seem like logrotate can keep up with it.
Thanks

Same here (x86_64), suppose it's some bug in sudo.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

The sudo package in testing (1.8.3.p1-1) appears to resolve this for me..

Re: [Solved] PAM errors in /var/log/errors.log
yeah...just upgraded to the sudo in testing (1.8.3.p1-1) as well and that fixed it. Glad something did...I ran out of space in /var yesterday and had to go log-deleting!
