sudoers file tinkering and now extra password prompt
(1/1)
remus:
Hi all,
Running Microcore 5.2 in virutal box.
I've setup my /etc/sudoers file so that the tc user has to give a password whenever the sudo command is used. Heres the tc entry in my /etc/sudoers file now.
tc ALL=(ALL) ALL
Since I've done this, I've noticed that when I boot up the system, instead of being presented with a standard prompt ready for input, I see a password prompt, I can hit enter three times, and will then be presented with the standard prompt.
This also happens when accessing the system from windows via putty.
Its not really a problem, I'm just wondering why this is happening ?

/home/tc/.profile calls sudo.
remus:
So do I need to provide the password to load /home/tc/.profile correctly ?
If I don't what are the consequences ?
Thanks.

Fix your sudoers file so it doesn't ask for passwords for everything.
