In the sudoers file , the belwo entry was added.


soetest1 ALL=(ALL) ALL



But when logged in as soetest1, and when I try to execute the below, I get
incorrect password error message.

$ /opt/soe/local/sudo/bin/sudo ls -la /lost+found
soetest1's Password:
Sorry, try again.
soetest1's Password:

soetest1's Password:

I am sure the password I am entering is correct .
