Thanks again for your comprehensive tips, which I'll garter bellow in case someone else need to troubleshoot: - Make sure the 'root ALL=(ALL) ALL' line is in /etc/sudoers % grep ^root /etc/sudoers root ALL=(ALL) ALL - should not have the "!root_sudo" option set $ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep root_sudo || echo no no Also check, On Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:44:07 -0400, Tom H wrote: > Do you have an "/etc/pam.d/sudo" file?
