Ubuntu - sudo with ACL


I am sorry if this is something obvious but I am new to Linux. I was trying to set a git bare directory and for this I installed ACL on Ubuntu. Then I ran the following commands:

adduser git
mkdir /repositories
chmod 700 /repositories
setfacl -m defaut:user::rwx /repositories
sudo chown git:git /repositories

Everything was fine until I rebooted the machine. Now I am unable to execute sudo anymore. Everytime I do it as myself I get following message:

[[sudo]] password for Andre:
Sorry, try again

The password I enter is the same I always used, and I don't have any problem to SSH with these account credentials. Does anyone knows what happened and how to fix it?


Solution

  • I think that the issue was with setfacl. I should have used 'repositories' instead of '/repositories'. In that way I set acl across the root. I ended up reinstalling Linux.
