Hi All,

Does domebody know why I have sudo command not working in my Mandiva 2006 ?

When I try something like 'sudo ls' I see prompt for the pasword. I enter the password (it's absolutelly correct), but the util says 'Sorry, try again'.
And I see 'sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts' after third try.

But the password is correct.

So I have to use 'su' instead of 'sudo' which is not very convinient.

I suppose I haven't just setup something, but what ?

Will appreciate any kind of help !

SVladimirI, you should read man sudoers and edit sudo config with visudo. If you don't like VI/VIM, you should export EDITOR varible to use diffrent editor - like EDITOR=nano visudo

You should add this string in the end of /etc/sudoers :

Thanks !
That helped.

Now I'm going to read 'man sudo' and make it asking the password before executing a command.

Thanks again.
