Description Marius Schamschula 2009-12-07 20:46:29 MST

I have built both sudo 1.7.2p1 and 1.7.2p2 under Mac OS X 10.6.2. Both install, but when I execute sudo the computer becomes completely unresponsive. I can only regain control by rebooting.

Note: There is no such problem under Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.8.

That's very strange, I see that apple is shipping sudo 1.7.0 with snow leopard.  Unfortunately I don't have access to a 10.6 machine at the moment.

Can you try running configure with the --without-bsm_audit option and see if that makes any difference?

Comment 2 Marius Schamschula 2009-12-09 19:13:26 MST

Todd,

I just rebuilt with the --without-bsm_audit options.

I'm also using the following options (as I use in builds for older versions of Mac OS X):

--with-password-timeout=0 --with-env-editor --with-tty-tickets --with-ignore-dot --disable-log-wrap --with-pam --without-lecture

I've tested sudo 1.7.2p6 on Mac OS X 10.6.3 without problems.  I can only test a 32-bit binary, however.

Sudo 1.7.2p7 works fine for me on Mac OS 10.6.3 with both 32bit and 64bit kernels.

I'm not sure what the problem is. However, here are the symptoms:

1) When I run sudo from the bash CLI it works
2) When sudo is called from a shell script, the terminal session hangs. E.g. 
sudo make install

The same exact script works under Mac OS X 10.5.x, but hangs under 10.6.x.
