Ubuntu :: Sudo: User Is Not In The Sudoers File

Aug 16, 2010since a recent upgrade to Mandriva 2010.1 I am not able to 'sudo' as administrator or when I use the 'root' password. I am the only user on this machine (Dell Inspiron 530S multi-booted with Window's Vista Home Premium, Ubuntu 10.4, and Mandriva 2010.1). I can get into the 'Manage Users' section of the control center by authenticating as 'root' but I can't access 'sudoers file' from command line.

Feb 15, 2011I have previously set up sudo via adding my name to the wheel group and then giving full privileges to the wheel group in the sudoers file. Now I choose to learn to limit that. Had noticed the most frequent use I have of sudo is to run yum update. This got me thinking, could I remove the wheel group privileges and add the following line in sudoers to limit the privilege to simply running yum, and furthermore, make it so I could run yum without a password:
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
rootALL=(ALL) ALL
Troy ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/yum
I think that would in fact work (if I understood one of the pages here, it will work). However, upon further thinking I realized that in such a case then anyone sitting at my computer could then use yum, without a password, to install or remove any file on my system � probably not a good idea. As a result I have to ask, can I tighten the privilege even further such that the only privilege so given was to run �yum update� and nothing else? (for example if they ran �yum install� it would fail). If you can do it, how?
Last, I was going to limit the privilege, time wise and try wise, by adding the following to the sudoers file:
# Defaults specification
Defaults:Troy timestamp_timeout=0, passwd_tries=3
Will that really work to limit the elevated privilege so I don't have elevated privileges lingering about, or is there a better way to do so?
Ubuntu :: Error: Sudo: /etc/sudoers Is Owned By Uid 1000, Should Be 0
Jan 4, 2010I have a problem, I changed the own of all the etc folder, it was a mistake, but I can't change it again, now, I cant use "sudo" because root is not the own. When I try to use "sudo" this is the error: sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0. so, the own is my user instead of the root. How can I change it again?

Ubuntu Security :: Patch For Sudo That Allows Sudoers Information To Be Pulled From MySQL?
Apr 12, 2011This may be a stupid (?) question, but does any one know of a patch for sudo that allows the sudoers information to be pulled from mySQL?
I run multiple servers with multiple people working on them and would like a one-stop update of permissions.
Yes, I could use rsync or the like, but I'm just wondering if this has been done, or could be done.
(Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I'm kinda new around here, posting wise and this seemed to fit. Feel free to move it if it's not)

Jul 15, 2011I have a bit of a problem... I thought (for certain reasons) I would just add myself to root group and therefore gain some more rights for my account. I could sudo before... But once I gained the root group as a secondary group it says I am not in the sudoers file anymore...
Code:
id
uid=1000(kosta) gid=1000(kosta) groups=0(root),1000(kosta)
Code:
sudo ls
[sudo] password for kosta:
kosta is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. It is really weird and messed up. I can view sudoers file but not edit it... I can cat passwd but I can not view syslog. Is there any way to fix this without having to reboot to recovery mode? And why the heck is this happening after all?
Fedora :: Type "sudo Gedit" (before Trying "su") But Was Told Wasn't In Sudoers?
Dec 8, 2010I've been a distro-hopper for a while and just installed FC14. I like it and it seems very stable on my older Presario laptop (2170us with 1-Gig Memory and 80-gig HDD).In other distros, I was able to open a Terminal, type "su" & <password> then type "gedit" and take care of things like the Workgroup name in Samba, adding a user to sudoers, etc.....but in FC14's Terminal, typing "su" & <password> and then "gedit" results in all kinds of error messages (that I can't recall right now). I did find after typing "su" & <password>, that if I then typed "sudo gedit", gedit opens just fine.I had tried to type "sudo gedit" (before trying "su") but was told I wasn't in sudoers.I suppose it's minor for someone like me who can eventually find a way around it...but why won't gedit open when I'm a superuser by just typing "gedit"?

Mar 15, 2011Suddenly I am not in the sudoers file. I am not sure how to recover from this. I have no grub screen at bootup, so I can't boot into single user. I think I am going to have to boot a live version of ubuntu to start with. Is that right? What's next after that? Also, how could this happen, I haven't touched the sudoers file or added users or anything like that (well not that I am aware of) I am a little concerned that this may be the result of someone breaking in? Would this be a likely symptom?

Jun 8, 2011I'm trying to add my single user 'moreaue' to the sudoers. this user seems to be have admin privilege but is not in the sudoers:
Code:
moreaue@bloom:~$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for moreaue:
moreaue is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
moreaue@bloom:~$ su
Password:
root@bloom:/home/moreaue# adduser moreaue admin
The user `moreaue' is already a member of `admin'.
root@bloom:/home/moreaue# exit
exit
moreaue@bloom:~$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for moreaue:
moreaue is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
moreaue@bloom:~$
As you can see I can connect as root, run the adduser command which says the user is already admin... but then the user is still not a sudoer. Of course I can edit the sudoers file manually, but I wonder what is going wrong?
