[SOLVED] Installing on WSL, sudo does not work

I'm following the tutorial https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_on_WSL to install arch on WSL. After installation, sudo does not work.

I'm using archlinux-bootstrap-2017.09.01-x86_64.tar.gz and glibc-wsl-2.26-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, which are different from the version mentioned in the tutorial.

Running sudo gives the following output:

[wangqr@wangqr-w0 root]$ sudo true
sudo: getrlimit: Function not implemented
sudo: setrlimit: Function not implemented
[sudo] password for wangqr:
sudo: setrlimit: Function not implemented
sudo: pam_open_session: Critical error - immediate abort
sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization

The output of sudo --version:

[wangqr@wangqr-w0 root]$ sudo --version
Sudo version 1.8.21p2
Sudoers policy plugin version 1.8.21p2
Sudoers file grammar version 46
Sudoers I/O plugin version 1.8.21p2

I've only found this question from google, which is similar to my output. But I've checked that pacman -Qqk gives no output. find / -path /mnt -prune -o -name '*.pacnew' -print gives only /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew. I've also tried to uninstall WSL and restart from the beginning but has no difference. If I give root a password, I can su to root, but I prefer to use sudo if possible.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this problem?

I'm on the same boat after an upgrade, it was all fine before.

Enabling log for sudo I got this:

(Hi pepper_chico, please use code tags for terminal output. See the link somewhere near the bottom of this page called "BBCode".)

Re: [SOLVED] Installing on WSL, sudo does not work

glibc-wsl-2.26-4 has fixed this issue.
