http://serverfault.com – I'm using a git post-update hook to run a command via sudo, and I get the error: sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo. I believe I need to modify /etc/sudoers but I don't know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated! (HowTos)

sudo cannot open /etc/sudoers 51 weeks 3 days ago

sudo does not work. I have installed Arch onto a USB key, using BTRFS. The output of "sudo" is:

$ sudo sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

$ ls -l /etc/sudoers -r--r----- 1 root root 2849 May 18 15:00 /etc/sudoers

$ lsattr /etc/sudoers --------------- /etc/sudoers

$ strace -u ross sudo true

how to deny "sudo su" 1 year 16 weeks ago

I have several servers where some users require to be sudoers to work. The problem is that when sudoers can run the command sudo su and login as user root. It seems very risky to run that command.

I tried with Command Alias ​​in the file /etc/sudoers but it has not worked. Is there any way that they are sudoers but not run the command sudo su?

Following the wiki's advice, I installed ubuntu-zfs.

I've set up sudo not to prompt for password by editing the sudoers file:

myuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

And it works fine, running sudo with no password prompting. But when entering sudo -v I noticed that it prompted for password, only once.

[ubuntu] Sudo error !! 24 weeks 2 hours ago

I have changed the permissions of some system folders and now when i want to install a program it shows this error:

sudo: /etc/sudoers is world writable sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

Any help?

i screwed up big time.

Hello all,

I manage some HP-UX 11.31 servers. I have some users that have sudo access. All of them belong to the 'sudoers' user group.

Whenever I try to do anything at all that requires my password it returns this:

u7ur7l3@ubuntu:~$ sudo sudo: /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so must be owned by uid 0 sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins u7ur7l3@ubuntu:~$

So I can't install anything from the Software Center / package manager or run any commands in terminal that require my password.

Tried a million things but I can't restore my root access.

ubuntu@ip-10-252-139-101:~$ sudo su sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Sadly I can't boot in restore mode because this is an AWS EC2 instance, I'm afraid I've screwed everything.

I need to sudo for one last time to start mysql service then dump a database.
