Sudo password not working
by torronto from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BJYN)
Here's what i get after trying to authenticate:
Code:sudo pacman -Syy
[sudo] password for usr:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for usr:
Code:su
<root_passwd>
passwd usr
<password> ##same as old
exit
usr@linux: sudo su
[sudo] password for usr:
<password>
Sorry, try again.I tried changing the password as root, seems like that wasn't the issue. The only thing that comes to mind at this point is a broken sudo.
UPDATE: Everything went back to normal after logging out and back in again but i'm still curious what could be causing issues like this and how can this be prevented for the future.
