[Bug 1387347] [NEW] sudo doesn't check for sudo group

 

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu, sudo is built with --enable-admin-flag to create the
~/.sudo_as_admin_successful after being run the first time.

At some point, to align with Debian, the group changed from "admin" to
"sudo", so this no longer works. A recent bash upload has fixed printing
the blurb about using sudo in the terminal, but since the flag file
isn't being created, the blurb always gets printed.

** Affects: sudo (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided

** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
