[sudo-users] sudo -i <command> results in "cannot execute binary file"

[Nilsson Marcus]

Hi list!

I'm having a problem running commands with roots (or any other users) environment using Sudo version 1.6.9p17 on SLES 11.

Example:

sevmani> sudo -i id
/usr/bin/id: /usr/bin/id: cannot execute binary file

Using interactive shell or without "-i" works as expected:

sevmani> sudo -i
root# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),502(sap)

sevmani> sudo id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),502(sap)

My permissions:

sevmani> sudo grep sevmani /etc/sudoers
sevmani ALL=(ALL) ALL

Any idea?


Best regards
