[sudo-users] SUDO on AIX not keeping env variables

[wagnerprata at comcast.net]

Hello everyone, 

I installed sudo-1.8.7-1.aix53.lam.rpm on AIX 6.1 and added the following entries in /etc/sudoers 

gc111d ALL=(oracle5) NOPASSWD:ALL 

Defaults ! env_reset 

Defaults env_keep += "ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBPATH PATH" 

I log in to the machine as user ‘gc111d’ and run the following sudo command 

$ sudo -u oracle5 /refresh/oracle5/app/oracle/product/dbE/bin/sqlplus 

and I receive the following error: 

Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus 

SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found 

SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory 

This error is because SUDO is not keeping the environment variables from user ‘oracle5’ 




Is this a known issue with SUDO on AIX? Or am I missing something in /etc/sudoers? 

Any help or comment will be greatly apprecitated. 

Thanks 

Wagner
