[sudo-users] Sudo asks password after new kernel is installed

[Tom Boschman]

Dear,

We have a perl program, launcher.pl, that runs as user 'launcher'. In
the 'launcher.pl' program we execute sudo via the system() function to
run another perl program, mhs_deliverer.pl, as another user (from the
customer group). 
We modified the sudoers file so that no password was asked and
everything worked fine.
Here is a piece of the sudoers file.

User_Alias   MHS_USER       = launcher
Cmnd_Alias   MHS_CMND       = /usr/local/bin/mhs_deliverer.pl
Runas_Alias  CUSTOMER_RUNAS = %customer

MHS_USER    LOCAL = (CUSTOMER_RUNAS) NOPASSWD: MHS_CMND


Now after we installed the openmosix kernel
(openmosix-kernel-2.4.18-openmosix4.i386) and after reboot the sudo
command in the perl program now asks for a password whereas before it
didn't !

So I removed the openmosix kernel again but the problem resides ...

Here are some examples from the passwd file for users in the 'customer'
group:

cust1:x:102193:400:a customer:/home/customer/cust1:/bin/false
cust2:x:102214:400:a customer:/home/customer/cust2:/bin/false

This is the 'launcher' entry:

launcher:x:201:200:Launcher:/home/mhs:/sbin/nolog


Does anyone now how this is possible and how to fix it?


Thanks in advance,
Tom
