Hello Experts<br />
<br />
Logged in as user1, I am running a command:<br />
sudo xyz.sh<br />
it asks me for the root password which I input; but it tells me that the passwd is incorrect.<br />
Yet, if I am able to log in as root using the same passwd. <br />
<br />
Why doesn't it let me use the 'sudo' command as user1?<br />
<br />
Please help I am in the middle of an oracle install...<br />
<br />
thx

Linux CentOS 5.3: how come I can't use the sudo command to run an app?

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
