Added Kerberos support to OpenSSH and sudo broke
 

I need MIT Kerberos 5 support in OpenSSH at work. I am running Slackware64-current, so I grabbed the contents of the n/openssh source directory and modified the openssh.SlackBuild thusly:

diff --git a/openssh.SlackBuild b/openssh.SlackBuild
index 4a66113..3632363 100644

After removing the original openssh package, building this modified version, and installing it sudo now fails:

$ sudo echo
sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied

It will not work again until I remove this version and reinstall the original. It even continues working at that point if I uninstall the original openssh again.

In both cases I am using openssh-5.2p1-x86_64-2.

Did you try naming your new build openssh-5.2p1-x86_64-3 and then
using "upgradepkg openssh-5.2p1-x86_64-3" ?

The problem seems to have gone away through some combination of uninstalls, reinstalls, and slackware64-current updates. If it reoccurs, I will try this.

Thanks
