Hi,
I have installed sudo on Solaris 10 (sparc). When I try to add a user I get the following:

-bash-3.00$ sudo addusr scarlet sudo
sudo: /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d is owned by uid 2, should be 0
Password:

root# sudo addusr scarlet sudo
sudo: not found

When sudo asks you for a password, it generally asks you for your own password, not somebody else's. Sudo uses it's configuration file to decide who's permitted to do what, and the users only need to prove they are themselves (not some random guy who saw an open terminal and sat down at your computer).

Look at the man pagess of visudo, and sudo for the correct usage...

Meaning it was not correctly installed, sudo is very sensible to file permisssions...

If you scarlet have right to use sudo you can check out by typing:

 sudo -l

Hi,
After editing sudoers, I keep getting the following error:

sudo: parse error in /usr/local/etc/sudoers near line 74
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
