I have  a strange problem were a script that is owned by root, gives  
an error when run as root but not when run using sudo. Anyone seen  
this before? Know of  a way to fix it?

Info:
sudo version 1.6.7p5
system running CentOS 4.3

sudo file:

# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers  
file.
