I was looking at this last night. As a test, I pulled root out of sudoers, and it gives the same error as it would for a non-root user, "root is not in the sudoers. This will be reported."
I can't figure out why it is giving you a permission denied. Are you running extended acls or anything like that? That is the only way that you should ever get a permission denied result for root. --b On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 8:34 PM, T o n g <mlist4sunt...@yahoo.com> wrote: > On Mon, 27 Sep 2010 20:16:05 -0400, Tom H wrote: > > >> What could be wrong? > > > > grep root /etc/sudoers > > % grep ^root /etc/sudoers > root ALL=(ALL) ALL > > It has always been there. > > -- > Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) > http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ > http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
