Q) When sudo asks me for my password it never accepts what I enter even
though I know I entered my password correctly.
A) Try running configure with the --with-getpass option. After this
when you build sudo it will use the system's getpass() routine instead
of sudo's own version. If your system uses shadow passwords, it
is possible that sudo didn't detect this. Take a look at the
generated config.h file and verify that the C function used for
shadow password lookups was detected. For instance, for SVR4-style
shadow passwords, HAVE_GETSPNAM should be defined (you can search
for the string "shadow passwords" in config.h with your editor).
Note that there is no define for 4.4BSD-based shadow passwords
since that just uses the standard getpw* routines.

Q) I can't get the s/key support to work, whatever I do sudo won't
accept my key. I had to run configure with --with-getpass,
could that have something to do with it?
A) Yes, the s/key support requires that you use tgetpass() since
most system getpass()'s only grab eight characters or so
and s/key needs much mroe than that. It should be possible
to get tgetpass() to work, send mail to sudo-bugs@courtesan.com
