Hi all,

fresh bootstrap of pkgsrc current on Centos 7. Bootstrap went ok.

Trying to build lynx.

cd into lynx directory && bmake install (as standard user):

It won't let me enter my password and it aborts after a couple of seconds.

Then I modified mk.conf like this:

--start------------------------------
# Example /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf file produced by bootstrap-pkgsrc
# Thu 30 Nov 18:11:10 GMT 2017

.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK    # begin pkgsrc settings

ABI=            64

PKG_DBDIR=        /usr/pkg/pkgdb
LOCALBASE=        /usr/pkg
VARBASE=        /var
PKG_TOOLS_BIN=        /usr/pkg/sbin
PKGINFODIR=        info
PKGMANDIR=        man

#Added by Ottavio
#Added by Ottavio

.if exists.(${LOCALBASE}/bin/sudo)
SU_CMD=        ${LOCALBASE}/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c
.endif

.endif            # end pkgsrc settings
---------------end-------------------------------

Same thing!

Using su or sudo outside pkgsrc works fine.

Any ideas?
