Description Flash Sheridan 2005-01-04 17:39:39 MST

The version of sudo which I installed via Xandros Network on my Wal-Mart Linux (Xandros 2.0, 2.4.24-
x1) box doesn't require a password.  It's never asked for it, from the first time I tried (only changing the 
sudoers file by adding "%sudo  ALL= ALL", and adding myself to the sudo group), to my latest attempt 
at restricting the sudoers file, with only the following effective line:

flash   ALL = PASSWD: /bin/ls, /usr/sbin/visudo, /bin/rm, /usr/bin/pico, /usr/bin/less

In the meantime, I tried other example in the manual, e.g., "flash  ALL=ALL", and various uses of 
PASSWD.
"Defaults authenticate" didn't help either.
sudo -K or -k has no effect, and /var/run/sudo remains empty.

Sounds like they install either a hacked up version of sudo or they have the defaults set strangely.
What is the output of "sudo sudo -V"?

Apparently Xandros broke sudo in some way; normal sudo build works correctly as verified by 
submitter.
