Hi, I have configured sudoers in my environment. But when I try to execute a command using sudo, the commands fails to get executed saying "sysadmin is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." . I am using sysadmin account as mentioned in the below sudoers ldif file. login as: sysadmin sysadmin(a)10.150.14.144's password: Last login: Mon Aug 29 14:58:50 2011 from 10.150.10.158 Could not chdir to home directory /home/sysadmin: No such file or directory -bash-3.2$ sudo ls [sudo] password for sysadmin: sysadmin is not in the sudoers file.
