sudo

[Animesh Chakraborty]

Hi,
I have installed sudo today for the first time.
Still not much familiar with this product.
When I was trying to use it ,it gives error

%sudo /usr/sbin/umount /unload/DATA
Sorry, sudo must be setuid root.
Any help?
Thanks
Animesh

Hi,

Logon as root, then execute:

# chmod u+s `which sudo`

Hope this helps. Regards.
