Hi Rick and all, The problem appears to be that for some reason, sudo doesn't put the /usr/sbin and /sbin directories in the path. That means that if I do the following:
sudo [command] where command is in /sbin or /usr/sbin, I get a message that says sudo: [command] not found I am using the /etc/sudoers file that comes with emerging sudo, with the line uncommented that allows users in the wheel group to run commands as root with their passwords, and the user is in the wheel group. What am I missing?
