Hello,
Check the permissions of the sam executable.
It should be
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 7248 Oct 27 1997 /usr/sbin/sam
You should be the super user to run it.
If you want normal user to use sam
enter
#sam -r as root
provide the required privilege the normal user.

Thanks

Make sure that you are 'root' when you try to run 'sam'.
