Full Discussion: Syntax error in one line in sudoer file cause total failure
Operating Systems Linux Syntax error in one line in sudoer file cause total failure Post 302913759 by programAngel on Tuesday 19th of August 2014 04:21:59 PM

Then why not just ignore from misconfigured lines (and still show warning message about those lines, everytime someone is doing successfully sudo)?

In such case the misconfigured lines won't inadvertently give someone elevated privileges that they should not have, because they (misconfigured lines) will just be ignored.

The situation now is that one syntax error and no one can do sudo, with my it very difficult to fix the syntax itself.

correction:
Which makes it very difficult to fix the syntax itself.

sepermit.conf

SEPERMIT.CONF(5)						 Linux-PAM Manual						  SEPERMIT.CONF(5)

NAME

       sepermit.conf - configuration file for the pam_sepermit module

DESCRIPTION

       The lines of the configuration file have the following syntax:

       <user>[:<option>:<option>...]

       The user can be specified in the following manner:

       o   a username

       o   a groupname, with @group syntax. This should not be confused with netgroups.

       o   a SELinux user name with %seuser syntax.

       The recognized options are:

       exclusive
	   Only single login session will be allowed for the user and the user's processes will be killed on logout.

       ignore
	   The module will never return PAM_SUCCESS status for the user. It will return PAM_IGNORE if SELinux is in the enforcing mode, and
	   PAM_AUTH_ERR otherwise. It is useful if you want to support passwordless guest users and other confined users with passwords
	   simultaneously.

       The lines which start with # character are comments and are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/sepermit.conf.

	   %guest_u:exclusive
	   %staff_u:ignore
	   %user_u:ignore
