When I run `sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` I receive the following
error: bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied

I have `%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL` in my /etc/sudoers file. All commands
should be allowed for group sudo.

ls -la /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
--w------- 1 root root 0 Aug 14 16:28 /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

I tried adding group permissions with `sudo chmod 440
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` and receive the following error message chmod:
changing permissions of '/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches': Operation not permitted

If I run `sudo sh -c "/usr/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"` it
works.  Why does  `sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` not work, so
frustrating.
