>Description:

If a user has one of a number of passwords and tries to use sudo sudo will not recognise their password. It continues as if you have got it wrong. Change the password and it works fine. The password works fine to log in with.

>How-To-Repeat:

One of the affected passwords is "martha:my". There are others but I can't rember them off hand...I will ask around our users if you need them.

>Fix:
