sudo access problems with login

marvin51796 — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 15:23:13 GMT

I have added a new user to my sudoers file, just like the other ones that are already in there and when he goes to do a sudo -i he gets this. Does any one have any ideas? this is on hpux ver 11vi3.

/home/XXXXX# sudo -i XXXXX

You have mail.

sh: XXXXX: not found.

logout

thanks

I assume the XXXX is referencing a command that is being attempted to run? Does it matter what the command is?

The -i option engages the target user (root) .profile, so perhaps something in there is not setting up the path correctly. What if you try the command using absolute pathing?
