Description rod rioux 2005-03-23 13:13:27 MST

Had a strange issue with a user where he changed his nis/yp password but when 
he sudo's it still requires old password.

Things i have tried.
1) turning off nscd
2) restarting ypbind
3) running sudo -k and -K
4) removing files from /var/run/sudo/<user>

Seems to be cached somewhere .. but dont know where to look.
This is on Suse Enterprise Linux 9, i havent tried on others.

The password is not cached anywhere by sudo.  Could the old password be stored in /etc/shadow on the 
machine?

Comment 2 Todd C. Miller 2005-10-28 12:46:23 MDT

closing bug since sudo does not cache passwords
