I'm able to SSH to my server (CentOS 5.9) using an admin account with sudo privileges:
$ ssh admin@myserver
Last login: Wed Feb 27 19:23:11 2013 from [IP ADDRESS]
[admin@myserver ~]$
Then I can su to root:
[admin@myserver ~]$ sudo su root
[sudo] password for admin:
[root@myserver admin]#
But I can't su to another user, and the su command is not telling me why:
[admin@myserver ~]$ sudo su
I just installed Wubi fresh (Win 7; Ubuntu 12.10).
After booting into Ubuntu for the first time, my first instinct is to:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
However, I'm quickly prompted with:
[user] is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
I checked user settings and it appears that there are NO admin accounts:
How can I resolve this?
I am using ubuntu11.10 64 bit version . while checking the user account i have changed my admin user as an standard user. As aresult there is no more admin user. and here the problem begins . whereever authentication is needed it is asking for admin password .

But I still can't do commands like:
sudo aptitude update

oshirowanen is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
How do I add myself into the sudoers group now that I am in the admin group?
In the terminal, I entered
sudo deluser myself sudo
and
sudo deluser myself admin
Why do I still have root privileges under this user?
I made a new user and added it to "sudo" and "admin." I want to have someone else set the password for it, so I can lock myself out of the hosts file when URLs are blocked.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. I'm trying to setup a user that's essentially a clone of the permissions of the ubuntu user. This works but I'm not able to sudo with this new user without supplying a password (which I don't even have for this user).
Installed a new user and then tried to create one with the name root, because sudo
nerves. Didnot work and i have learnt in the meantime, this is not possible. ok, but
now my admin log in doesn´t work, home/marek/.ICEauthority could not be updated.
It is there, but perhaps set to read only.
I have installed xcache with easyapache and want to access the xcache admin end. I have set user and password in the xcache configuration, and now I need to move the admin directory to be able to access it.
