[sudo-users] sudo: setuid(): Operation not permitted

[Ahamed]

Hi Jeff,

Hope you have added the entries for the user oracle and the user you are
trying this command(lets say newuser) in the sudoers file.

newuser ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL # to allow the newuser to use sudo
newuser ALL=(oracle) NOAPSSWD:ALL #Run as alias, for the option "-u"

This is just an example.

regards,
Ahamed
