Hi all,
And recent upgrade sudo-1.6.8_p9 make sudo with password inpossible.
After update sudo to the mentioned version, I get the problem and fixed
by FAQ section in
http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/troubleshooting.html
Q) Sudo says 'Account expired or PAM config lacks an "account"
section for sudo, contact your system administrator' and exits
but I know my account has not expired.
A) Your PAM config lacks an "account" specification. On Linux this
usually means you are missing a line like:
account required pam_unix.so
in /etc/pam.d/sudo.
But I was hung in this problem
Q) When sudo asks me for my password it never accepts what I enter even
though I know I entered my password correctly.
A) If your system uses shadow passwords, it is possible that sudo
didn't detect this. Take a look at the generated config.h file
and verify that the C function used for shadow password lookups
was detected. For instance, for SVR4-style shadow passwords,
HAVE_GETSPNAM should be defined (you can search for the string
"shadow passwords" in config.h with your editor). Note that
there is no define for 4.4BSD-based shadow passwords since that
just uses the standard getpw* routines.
Well, this is totally out from me to get this done. Is it a bug or
anything in sudo source or the gentoo sudo ebuild?
