As you can see from the exchange here below my account jcbeaudoin on common-lisp.net has been made a member of the "admin" group by Hans Hubner a while ago and that used to allow me to use sudo to fix a few things here and there. I just tried it today since sudoers have been asked to fix what they consider would be useful to put back into service but has been a casualty of the recent server migration. My attempt showed that my sudo access does not work anymore, and I suspect that this is the case for the rest of the members of the "admin" group. Basically, when I do sudo it now fails at the personal password validation step.

Somebody with real root access will need to fix this. Otherwise I suspect the effective set of sudoers will have shrunk significantly.

Cheers,

Hello Jean-Claude,

I have made you a member of the "admin" group so you can use sudo. Can you fix the problem yourself? That'd be most appreciated!

Thanks! Hans

Hello Hans,

The /etc/cron.d/cl-net script did not run last night as it should have. I think in fact that it is prevented from running ever since I was made the owner of the file yesterday and that would be a security features of cron. I guess that all you have to do is to revert the ownership of /etc/cron.d/cl-net back to root and all should run smoothly again.

Cheers,

Jean-Claude

Thanks for taking care. Someone else will probably check the stuff in. If you like to volunteer for doing some more admin work, we can also arrange for that and give you sudo access. Let us know!

Sure, sign me up. I should be able to chip in once in a while.

Cheers,

Jean-Claude
