Hello,
as I'm trying to adopt PTX to an i.MX53 based board, I wondered why sudo
didn't accept any user passwords. sudo.make calls configure with --disable-
shadow. Removing this line enables sudo to retrieve passwords from
/etc/shadow and everything is fine.
Is there a reason, why shadow support was disabled?
I am using PTXdist 2013.09.0.
Thank you for your help!
Felix

It's probably a bug, please send a patch.

I was just wondering, if there is still a reason to disable shadow support.
Obviously it was at some time intended ...
Without shadow support sudo does not accept any password stored in
/etc/shadow (as usual).

Felix

No, not really I think. It was added by Robert back in 2008.

I can't remember why it was added.
