Your LDAP password can *not* be used to authenticate to `sudo` on servers. It can only allow to log you in through SSH, but you need a *different* password to get `sudo` access, which we call the "sudo password". To set the sudo password: 1. go to the [[user management website|https://db.torproject.org/login.html]] 2. pick "Update my info" 3. set a new (strong) sudo password If you want, you can set a password that works for all the hosts that are managed by torproject-admin, by using the "wildcard ("*"). Alternatively, or additionally, you can have per-host sudo passwords -- just select the appropriate host in the pull-down box. Once set on the web interface, you will have to confirm the new settings by sending a signed challenge to the mail interface. Please ensure you don't introduce any additional line breaks. Note that setting a sudo password will only enable you to use sudo to configured accounts on configured hosts. Consult the output of "sudo -l" if you don't know what you may do. (If you don't know, chances are you don't need to nor can use sudo.) == <a id="key-rollover">Changing/Updating your OpenPGP key</a> == Loading Loading
