SUDO not recognizing user passwd change!

[sreedca]

Hi,

I have changed my user passwd in NIS environment,the hange is successful.I could log on from all the servers allowed to me.Then i log back in using new passwd.When i do "sudo su -",the passwd is asked and when i type my new user passwd,my new passwd is not being taken,instead,my old user passwd is accepted.How to make sudo recognize my new passwd?

Thx

Srid

Hi!

You can use "sudo -k" to clear yout sudo timestamp. Afterwards sudo shall accept your new password.

--Trifo

I would guess the time stamp expired after 5 minutes. Isn't this the default?

The timestamp doesn't seem like it would be the problem.

Did you recently switch to NIS? If so, it could be that your sudo isn't built with NIS capability, and your old password is still in /etc/passwd on the machine giving you trouble.
