Running olpc3-17. When becoming root, e.g. running "sudo su -" at terminal activity, the following (harmless?) message is printed:

after the above message is printed, I am presented with a root shell, so things is working bar the strange message.

The message is indeed harmless, it's caused by a fedora-specific sudo patch which integrates sudo with libaudit.

The message appears because we don't have CONFIG_AUDIT enabled in the kernel (whereas Fedora kernels do). I posted a fix to the upstream bug.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • next_action set to never set
  • resolution set to fixed

joyride now has olpcsudo which doesn't have this harmless bug
