How EC2 instances don't require password for sudo for Ubuntu user but 'include' is commented?

  • 772

There is a file in /etc/sudoers.d/90-cloudimg-ubuntu that makes the Ubuntu user passwordless for sudo.

However, in /etc/sudoers the 'include' line is commented.

How then is that config loaded?

ssh

    The line is not commented - it's a C-style include directive. From man sudoers:

    Including other files from within sudoers

    It is possible to include other sudoers files from within the sudoers file currently being parsed using the #include and #includedir directives.
