Question:
No error message appears in the terminal when running sudo command.
However debug logs show "client.sudo Unexpected error in conversation"
May 3 10:30:50 gbl03303 adclient[19085]: DEBUG <fd:25 sudo(17674)> client.sudo Prompt user for PAM_AUTHTOK: 'Password: '
May 3 10:30:51 gbl03303 adclient[19085]: WARN <fd:25 sudo(17674)> client.sudo Unexpected error in conversation: PAM_AUTH_ERR(7)
What is this error?
Answer:
If one of the password characters was either Control+c, Control+d or something that PAM can't manage when running sudo, it will return with an "Unexpected error in conversation: PAM_AUTH_ERR(7)" PAM error.
Since the user is being prompted for password when running the sudo command, it ends up error in the form of "client.sudo Unexpected error in conversation: PAM_AUTH_ERR(7)"
