Are you able to edit /etc/pam.d/sudo with a command-line text editor, like vi or emacs?

Yes.

from pam-watchid.

And once you do that, what happens? What is the error you run into when running a command with sudo?

from pam-watchid.

Operation not permitted from PAM.

It’s working okay for me. Would you be able to provide the following:

-OS major and minor version (e.g 10.15.5)
-Contents of your /etc/pam.d/sudo
-The command you run and the exact output from the terminal when you run it

Nevermind, it just started working now.
