The problem for newly created users .

root@xxxx $ cat /etc/sudoers | grep bk79
bk79 ALL=ALL,RCMNDS,SHELLS

the user can successfully log in with his id and passwd but not able to do sudo .

here is the output

root@xxxx $ login bk79

$ /usr/local/bin/sudo vi

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

To discard any problem with the sudoers file,you can login as the user and then do a /usr/local/bin/sudo -l , it will give you a list of commands that the user can launch with sudo.

[skt_skt]

what do "/usr/local/bin/sudo -l" for that user?

This not help me. Is shows only one command roo = ALL . I already tried .


Now I found one thing I jsut change passwd of the user again and now able to sudo vi. I dont know why this behaviur.each newly created user has same problem . initial passwd not accepted but whe I changes passwd for each user. I'm able to sudo vi .

Is any one knows what is the reason.

Could it be that the accounts are blocked,locked,expired and that's why it doesn't let you use sudo.

Can you check it out ?
