    Posted Mon April 17, 2023 09:00 AM

    Hi,
    user logon via ssh are working.

    On this system I had install kerberos new. comat user and sudo are functional, kerberos user are not functional with sudo.

    With sudo from open source I get the error :     sudo: you do not exist in the passwd database
    sudo version  1.9.13p2-1, same happen with downgrade version , same problem
    Oslevel 7200-05-05-2246
    # lslpp -L |grep -i krb5

    When I use the old sudo-1.7.2p6-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm it works (but is not from IBM open source).

    any idea ?

    best regards, Wolfgang

    i guess you have to configure pam to use kerberos, sudo does nothing with kerberos tickets.

    Hi,
    I resolved the problem:
    dnf reinstall krb5-libs libiconv
    thanks, best regards Wolfgang
