Re: sudo dumping core on recent current

Set disable_coredump false

However, you may just want to enable sudo debug logs like so:

Debug sudo /var/log/sudo_debug all@debug
Debug sudoers.so /var/log/sudoers_debug all@debug

The resulting log files should show where in sudo (or sudoers) the
crash occurs.

Thank you. I was wondering if core dumps had been disabled because it's something I would do. The other suggestions were important to check, but this is the one that gets me under way.

It seems that my sudo is passing a null path to ts_secure_opendir() which ends up getting passed to strrchr() causing the core dump. I'll pull the thread on this and see where it leads (I'm sure that's a mixed metaphor).

Ngā mihi,
