Title:
  sudo segmentation fault [ubuntu 8.10]

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  I'm using ubuntu 8.10
  Sudo version 1.6.9p17-1ubuntu2

  When using sudo it returns "Segmentation fault" after entering the password.
  If I don't enter any password it goes to prompt without even saying "Sorry, try again"
  However, if do I enter a wrong password, it does go "Sorry, try again"

  It doesn't matter what command I'm entering (i.e even 'sudo ls')
  gksudo doesn't work, and returns nothing at all.

  Please help, I'm stuck without rights on my own computer

  EDIT:
  It turns out the problem is with pam. After rebooing I couldn't login at all.. purging samba and samba-common solved the problem for now.
