Question (Sudo) command can't run by sudo


I am having trouble running commands by using sudo

I configured visudo file with localuser ALL=(ALL) ALL but I can't run any command, it tells me command not found.

can you show the commands you are running and the error please?

you would normally need to run like this

Code:
sudo /path/to/command

Hi,

Please note that when running sudo you are still using your own paths and not those of root. /sbin/service as is generally used with red hat based distributions will be found as root because /sbin/ is a default path for root but /sbin/ is not a default path for other users, you might want to try sudo /sbin/service sshd restart or sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart

If you wish to be able to do this as root, you will have to add the paths that root has and your user does not, generally this wouldn't be advised however.
