Description Forgotten User gxNgjAWAcH 2008-06-03 16:06:53 UTC 
Hi,
A fresh install fo 11.0 RC1, i386 as VMWare guest.
Using Windows domain authentication, I can log in as a domain user.

Now I tried to add this user in the sudoers, so I can use the same password.

Using Yast2 module, I was able to add the user MYDOMAIN\sunny as it should, but still sudo requires a root password, not the user's one:

MYDOMAIN\sunny@opensuse11rc1:~> sudo ls
root's password:
sudo: pam_authenticate: User not known to the underlying authentication module

If I provide root's password, it works OK.

Here is how sudoers file look like:

Defaults        targetpw
ALL     ALL = (ALL) ALL
MYDOMAIN\\sunny  ALL = (ALL) ALL

# Runas alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL = (ALL) ALL


Everything looks right, the "\" is escaped as per the docs.

Sorry, forgot to remove targetpw. Works now
