After installing sudo in the system i am unable tu run sudo as a non-root user, when i try to execute any command i get:

/usr/local/bin/sudo: cannot execute

if i edit /etc/passwd to use a different shell i get:

/usr/local/bin/sudo: permission denied

the sudoers file seems to be correctly configured since the output of "sudo -l -U user" shows the user is able to execute only the commands i want it to use.

ls -l output is:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 205396 Oct 8 2010 /usr/local/bin/sudo

  • try adding permissions to sudo for non root users to execute. that file looks like it can only be executed by the user root in the group root.

The problem was on the folder: /usr/local/bin It did not have the right permissions, once I corrected this "sudo" ran without problems.
