Sudo privileges stopped working

[sgt_jamez]

On a clean install of Scale, I created a user and gave sudo privileges. Tested and worked fine. I can't be sure when it stopped working, but I think it may have been after joining the domain. At any rate, when I SSH in and try to run a sudo action, I get this error:

Here's the user setup, unchanged from when it was working:

Any thoughts on this would be very helpful.

I would point you to the forum rules
Does tazzy have a password?

 

[sgt_jamez]

I will check the rules. Apologies for my infractions.

Yes the user Tazzy has a password and the sudo function was working and now gives the above error.

it's very possible that something with the upgrade mangled the password. did you try changing it...to the one that you want it to be?

 

[sgt_jamez]

I tried changing it just now. Still does the same. Even tried creating a new user. Still the same result.

but I think it may have been after joining the domain

wait. i just noticed that. you joined it to a domain? what kind of domain? an AD domain? does tazzy exist on the domain, with the same password *and privileges*?
because, afaik, if you "join a domain", the local users should no longer apply?

 

[sgt_jamez]

It’s a Samba AD. And Tazzy is just a local user. This machine is my second Scale host. I have a similar user on host #1 (running the current nightly build) and the local user there has no problems using sudo even though it too is part of the domain.

I have not used domains, so this is just speculation, but. I would speculate that you are correct, and that joining the domain changed your user authentication somehow, and that you need to do one of:

1. remove the domain
2. configure the domain correctly
3. use su.
