Title
Error: "CSE: Unable to locate the sudoers configuration file" when applying sudoers policy -
Description
Error received when applying the VGP policy, which includes a sudoers file:
"[vgp_sudoext.so]
CSE: Unable to locate the sudoers configuration file
[vgp_unixext.so]"
Regardless of what is added through VGP to the sudoers policy, nothing gets changed locally on the host's sudoers file. -
Cause
The installed version of Visudo, on the host, does not support the "check only" (visudo -c) option. This option performs a syntax check on the sudoers file, as well as displaying its location, which is then used by VGP to find the sudoers file.
-
Resolution
RESOLUTION:
Upgrade to a version of sudo newer than 1.6.4 -- one that supports the "check only" (-c) option. -
Additional Information
This issue was seen on:
ESX VMWare 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 with an installed version of Visudo 1.6.3p7
