lukstrI have an interesting situation with sudo happening on a 2-day old fresh install of xubuntu 12.0415:43
lukstris this the right channel to ask about such things?15:43
brendandlukstr, it's fine to ask here15:50
lukstrAh thanks brendand. My account password (the one passwd accepts, for example) differs from my sudo password15:50
lukstrbut they're the same password, and sudo seems to be presenting a case sensitivity issue15:51
hggdhlukstr: not sure I understand, byt default sudo will require your account's passwor16:12
hggdhd16:12
lukstrhggdh: it does, but in this case it seems to accept my account password with anything for the first character (the rest is correct) except for what the first character should be16:24
lukstrI'm also using kerberos w/pam: I ran sudo auth-client-config -a -p kerberos_example16:25
lukstron my 11.04 box this worked fine as expected, I'm suspecting something weird is going on16:25
lukstrif I change my password to something other than my kerberos password it seems to work correctly...16:25
lukstrI can paste my pam profile if it helps16:25
lukstrah I figured it out16:43
lukstrThis bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auth-client-config/+bug/52699916:43
ubot2Launchpad bug 526999 in auth-client-config "Password is ignored on local login, even for root" [Low,New]16:43
lukstrin combination with this terrible guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/kerberos.html#kerberos-linux-client16:43
lukstrat the bottom it recommends to use the kerberos_example16:43
lukstrwhich essentially turns off16:43
lukstrroot password authentication16:44
* LordOfTime glances in16:44
lukstrI guess I will file a doc bug?16:45
* LordOfTime walks out since the bug doesn't need his attention16:45
LordOfTimenope, i'd leave it as is16:45
LordOfTimefor now16:45
lukstr:'(16:45
LordOfTimewait for jdstrand to verify the example, if he can't then its a bug16:45
LordOfTimei mean, you *can* file the bug16:45
LordOfTimebut...16:45
LordOfTimeto be honest, the config file example ***DOES*** say its only an example.16:46
LordOfTimeand by default examples should not be used in production (normally)16:46
lukstrwell I mean, the example Neal posted in the bug thread works for me, but the issue is that the example is not for production use (as he states) but the docs on that page say to use it :P16:46
lukstrso my issue is with the documentation suggesting it is an important step16:47
lukstrthat's how I ended up in this mess after all16:47
LordOfTimefeel free to file the doc bug16:48
LordOfTimei'm not saying you shouldnt16:48
LordOfTimei'm just saying dont expect an immediate resolution of that bug ;)16:48
lukstrah that's fine16:48
lukstr:P16:48
lukstrit would be pretty slick if the aforementioned fix made it into a future release, setting up krb is a breeze16:49
