Re: uid 0 error

Hi Mauritz,

I don't know that I can help solving your problem, but I do have one
relevant thing to add.

I get this on my servers when I try to run a command directly through
ssh, but when I login I can run sudo fine. The key difference in my case
is PATH. It only works when PATH contains /run/setuid-programs/.

Can you check whether your PATH has /run/setuid-programs/? If not, can
you try running the sudo binary from there, rather than the one in the
system profile?

I haven't had a change to investigate why this is occurring for me, so I
can't give you a real solution, but hopefully this can get you
somewhere.
