When I ssh into my CentOS 7 machine and try to use sudo, I'm unable to submit my password.



Example prompt:



$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for edwardloveall:


Then I type my password, hit Enter, and nothing happens. No, command is run (seemingly), no "Sorry, try again.", no nothing. I am forced to Ctrl+C out of the prompt and do something else. This failure also happens when entering an ssh key password.



Return is accepted for other non-sudo commands and prompts. This behavior used to work, and as far as I know the system was not updated.



How can I fix or troubleshoot this?



Edit: Some more output to debug with:



$ id
uid=1000(edwardloveall) gid=1000(edwardloveall) groups=1000(edwardloveall),10(wheel)
$ ls -l /etc/sudoers
-r--r-----. 1 root root 4188 Mar 31 2016 /etc/sudoers


Also tried su -c date, attempted to enter a password (not sure if I had the right one) but the same thing happened: no response at the prompt.



More debug info:



$ hostname
portfolio
$ cat /etc/hosts

... snip comments ...

127.0.0.1 portfolio portfolio 
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 portfolio portfolio
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6


Edit:



I did find a workaround, if i hit Ctrl+D after entering my password it seems to let sudo work. I'd rather have Enter work however.



Fix (sortof)



I found a better work around.



If I edit my /etc/sudoers configuration (via visudo) and change



Defaults env_reset


to



Defaults env_reset,pwfeedback


Then * appear when I'm typing my password, and enter works! Changing it back has the same enter-not-allowed effect as before. If anyone knows why this works, I'd love to know.




centos sudo

  • Could you post output of commands: id and ls -l /etc/sudoers. Can you execute su -c date (it requires your root password if exists, not the edwardloveall user)?

  • Have you changed your hostname recently? Check and post output of: hostname and cat /etc/hosts.

  • Sure thing. I'm pretty sure that hasn't changed recently. Certainly not by me.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
