I ssh'ed into my server, ran sudo yum update, and now I'm asked for a password to sudo anything.
Looking back through update logs, I noticed this: /etc/sudoers.d/cloud-init saved as /etc/sudoers.d/cloud-init.rpmsave
Might be the culprit.
Regardless, I'm less interested in exactly what went wrong at this point, as much as how to fix it with as little downtime as possible as it is a live webserver. It's not a critical system, so if it has to go down for a few, fine, but obviously would prefer not.
Thanks in advance.
I'm curious how downvoting the question anonymously, while offering nothing to mention why you did not like the question, is helpful towards solving my problem. Maybe instead offer a comment to tell me what's wrong with it. Thanks again in advance. – egreene – 2014-12-20T21:28:57.140
It sounds like you've already got the info you need to answer your own question (or there's a complication that you haven't articulated). You've identified the config file which probably caused the change in behaviour. Have you compared the to versions? Have you tried moving the saved version back? A web search for rpmsave would give you some background for this. – Paul Haldane – 2014-12-21T10:17:43.390
Can you upload both files? – davidbaumann – 2014-12-21T19:21:56.557
As nice as the SO community is I'd go to the owner of the distribution for this one meaning the AWS EC2 forum.
