Vagrant sudo yum install whois (or anything else)

[Devils Kiddo]

Heyo,

Got a little problem and I cannot seem to find a fix for it anywhere.

I am able to connect to SSH correctly using vagrant SSH to my user Sorin.

Whenever I run a command that requires root access it does not work. It demands a password  and I do not know what that password is:

Sorin@centos7 ~  $ sudo yum install whois

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for Sorin:

Any help would be appreciated. If you need anything let me know and I will provide.

[Daniel Gil Jara]

Provide Vagrantfile in order we can understand how the Sorin user is created.

hello

when you run sudo, it ask for the user password

the vagrant file seems to be creating a user, just not sure why you need that in that way.

whats the requirement that the user need to be sorin and not vagrant?

i would suggest to create a new box right to use, it helps in the long run

There is no requirement for the user to be Sorin. It is preference only.

Isn't there a workaround for this, or a place where I can find/set that password which I have no idea where it is set up?

hello

your script is creating the user, without a pass

you can update the script to set a pass

or you can set the user to no need password for sudo

you can google about `sudoers` that is the file that manage this.

is more like a OS question rather than vagrant question

Hello,

Have you any idea on how to set it up cause I really got none. I have tried in my code to add the following:

config.ssh.username = "Sorin"
config.ssh.password = "6282"
config.ssh.insert_key = false

But that didn't do the trick.

Update, I was able to install whois. Somehow I connected to user vagrant instead of user sorin and vagrant does not require a password. But I would really appreciate if I could have a little help resetting the password for username sorin.

Thanks!

[Devils Kiddo]

I was able to do it myself by reconnecting to user Vagrant which doesn't require any password to run as root.

Then I ran the following commands to:

1. # passwd Sorin to change the user password for Sorin:
2. # Visudo to access and edit etc/sudoers: `## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands

   %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL`

The ''#" did not exist on my end to remove it. Remove it if exists on your end on the second line in front of %wheel

3. Save changes and return to editor.

4.# usermod -aG wheel Sorin to Add the user I created to the wheel group.

5. # su USERNAME - to switch to the Sorin user account that I created.

6. $ groups Sorin wheel

7. sudo whoami to check if it was root, the first time it asked for password.
