Description
Error "unknown defaults entry log_servers" shown when running sudo commands
The sudoers file contains an entry similar to:
Defaults log_servers=
-
Cause
The 'log_servers' option was only introduced in sudo version 1.9 onwards.
Check version of sudo installed on the server.
# sudo -V
Safeguard for Sudo does not use this setting. -
Resolution
An Enhancement request has been raised to ignore the log_servers option.
If an Audit Server is required then use the pmsrvconfig command in interactive mode to set the Audit server options in the pm.settings file.
/opt/quest/sbin/pmsrvconfig -i
Answer 'yes' when asked:
Would you like to configure Audit Server(s) for Privilege Manager?
For reference the Audit Server settings in the pm.settings file start with auditsrv*
