I was planning on getting the USB to work in my 3.2.4 Oracle virtual box, and I found a post that says you have to be a part of vboxusers. I ran > sudo usermod -G vboxusers alias and then id to see that I was a part of the vboxusers group. After I installed an update which required restart. That is right! I am no longer in the /etc/sudoers file!!!
View 2 RepliesI have tried several things to attempt to fix my sudoers file however it is still coming up with errors. The error says
[code]...
the sudoers configuration file is set to the default as I have ran a dpkg on it, have also uninstalled and reinstalled it, and went over the configuration file ensuring it looked like the defaults I had seen online.

I tried sudo visudo, sudo -i, sudo -l..When, I wrote sudo -l the following came in the Terminal.How do I get into sudoers file and give my new user name ariya the root privileges. Even my old user name doesn't work at all.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I get this message if i try to use sudo/gksudo. What causes this, how can I solve it? It has been working for years. If i remember correcttly there was a sudo update few days ago, maybe it doesnt work since then, i havent used it in the last few days.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSuddenly 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?
everytime i try to do anything with sudo i cant and this time it was extremelly costly. From now on i don't want to risk anything like this again and i need to be able to sudo.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI logged in as root and was trying to add a user to sudoers, but then when I tried to save it said that the file was write protected and couldn't be saved. However, when I returned to look at the contents of the sudoers file, they were all done. The file is now empty.
1- How can I restore the contents of the default sudoers file. (I have FC12)
2- How can I add a user (no password) to the sudoers list without this happening again?
I just installed Gutsy server. It is the only disk I can get to boot on this old PC trying to salvage. I'm at the "SERVER LOGIN" prompt. I created one user during the install. I can login as that user, but that user has "...Is not in the SudoersFile." How do I setup this user to be in the sudoers file, without having any ability to make changes to the system?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04. It came time to add User to the sudoers file: so I decided to simple add User to the admin group: usermod -a -G admin user Then I used visudo to check if admin users had been set to receive sudo privileges. I uncommented the line admin ALL=(ALL) ALL. Nothing happened. I've even tried to add user directly into the sudoers file as user ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL, but that failed too.

How to correct this matter...
In my sudoers file, there are lines that begin with #, lines that begin with % and lines that begin with neither. The # is definitely being used to comment out lines, but what does the % do? Is it a comment marker too?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I edited sudoers file and did typing error. Now neither I can do sudo nor change it.
Code:
sudo visudo -c

How I can get correct the sudoers file?
is it possible to do so? I mean, I want every user to be able to run '/bin/x' for example, as root without entering a password. I know the security risks, but I'm trying this in a risk-free environment which security does not matter very much.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to install a package. For that I need root access. However the system says that I am not in sudoers file. When trying to edit one, it complains alike! How I am supposed to add myself to the sudoers file if I don't have the right to edit one? I have installed this system and only administrator. What can I do?
Edit: I have tried visudo already. It requires me to be in sudoers in the first place.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Relatively new to Linux, but I'm trying to grasp the proper way to modify the sudoers file. As an example, what would I have to modify in /etc/sudoers to allow a user (say 'user1' for the example) to be able to add/remove software through yum? I'm aware of the fact that I need to use visudo and how to use the vi editor. I've Googled this topic and while I've found a number of pages on the topic, I never see many examples.

since 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.
