Re: root can't sudo

["B. Alexander" <storm16@gmail.com>]

I was looking at this last night. As a test, I pulled root out of sudoers, and it gives the same error as it would for a non-root user, "root is not in the sudoers. This will be reported."

I can't figure out why it is giving you a permission denied. Are you running extended acls or anything like that? That is the only way that you should ever get a permission denied result for root.
