[Spacewalk-list] sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

[Steve Meier]

Dear all,

apparently this was not a problem with /etc/sudoers.

Our default nsswitch.conf reads "sudoers: ldap" as we keep our roles and permissions in LDAP.
For sudo to also consider a local /etc/sudoers I changed it to "sudoers: files ldap". Works fine now.

Kind regards,
  Steve
