[SAC] sudo changes on trac?

Committees SAC mailing list

Martin,

I find I am unable to sudo on the Trac VM:

warmerdam@tracsvn:~$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for warmerdam:
sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, -1): Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/warmerdam/0: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to set supplementary group IDs: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Operation not permitted

Any thoughts on something that may have changed resulting in this?

Best regards,
Frank

There were some Debian upgrade quirks on other machines that broke sudo
once. Maybe this is similar. Note I think your ssh key is in the root
account so you could just login to that to work around this blocker for now.

As far as I know this only affects Debian Wheezy (7) - see:

[...] Maybe this is similar. Note I think your ssh key is in the root

Correct. I'll try to find out what's wrong this time.

Cheers,

It seems this was caused by me - I didn't follow my own advice. See
