Sudo command problem
Hi All,
I am tring to redirect mails comming to my user id to a script. In other word trigger a script when a mail comes to my user id.
Actually , Admin team has done all this to me previously. in my script i am doing like
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u parbrxs /export/home/parbrxs/bin/parbrxs.sh
it was working fine and it was able to trigger parbrxs.sh.
Now problem is, i want to change my script name from parbrxs.sh to abhishek_test.sh.
But this is giving error,
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.

Sorry, try again.
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
can any one please tell me what is the exact problem? Is there any settings i am missing?

wwsetup(8) System Manager's Manual wwsetup(8)
NAME
wwsetup, wnn - Sets up the 8-bit option for sendmail and the Wnn character-cell input method for Japanese
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/wwsetup
DESCRIPTION
The wwsetup script performs one or both of the following tasks: Enables or disables 8-bit transmission code, which is an option supported
by sendmail software
By default, sendmail uses the 7-bit SMTP mail transmission protocol that is the standard for sending mail over a TCP/IP network.
Note that enabling the 8-bit option is not generally recommended because it violates the SMTP mail transmission protocol. Config-
ures the Wnn software that supports a character-cell input method that is widely used in Japan
If the Tru64 UNIX IOSJPWNNnnn subset is installed, the wwsetup script asks if you want to create the following links if they do not
already exist on the system:
/usr/local/bin/Wnn4 --> /usr/i18n/bin/Wnn4 /usr/local/bin/wnn --> /usr/i18n/lib/wnn
The script also prompts you to enter the password for Wnn dictionaries if they do not already exist on the system.
Both the links and the dictionary password must be in place before Wnn software can be used.
SEE ALSO
Commands: sendmail(8), jserver(1wnn)
Note that the jserver(1wnn) reference page is available only in Japanese and is included in the subset that contains Japanese translations
of reference pages.
