sudo slackpkg = command not found

gabrielmagno · 03-01-2010, 05:36 PM

I edited my "sudoers" file with "visudo".
Added the line, after the root privileges definition.

Code:

root     ALL=(ALL) ALL
myuser   ALL=(ALL) ALL

I try to:

Code:

$ sudo ls /root
Blah  Blahblah  file.txt

Ok.

But then I try to:

Code:

$ sudo slackpkg
sudo: slackpkg: command not found

With direct root acces it's ok:

Code:

$ sudo su
# slackpkg
....
....
executes normally
....
....

What may be wrong?

You should have /sbin and /usr/sbin in your normal user path if you want to use sudo. Otherwise a lot of packaging utilities will break.

Try typing the full path to slackpkg? e.g.: sudo /sbin/slackpkg

$ sudo /usr/sbin/slackpkg
works

What is the most simple way to permanently add "/usr/sbin" to the $PATH variable?

add PATH="$PATH:/usr/sbin" to one of your startup files

~/.profile or ~/.bash_login perhaps

Why don't you just login with 'su -' ? That will give you a proper root login shell with paths etc.
