   and sudo quits.   /usr/local/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
A) Sudo must be setuid root to do its work.  You need to do something likeA) Sudo must be setuid root to do its work.  Either /usr/local/bin/sudo
    is not owned by uid 0 or the setuid bit is not set.  This should have
    been done for you by "make install" but you can fix it manually by
    running the following as root:
     # chown root /usr/local/bin/sudo; chmod 4111 /usr/local/bin/sudo
 
 Q) Sudo compiles and installs OK but when I try to run it I get:
     effective uid is not 0, is /usr/local/bin/sudo on a file system with the
     'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?
 A) The owner and permissions on the sudo binary appear to be OK but when
    sudo ran, the setuid bit did not have an effect.  There are two common
    causes for this.  The first is that the file system the sudo binary
    is located on is mounted with the 'nosuid' mount option, which disables
    setuid binaries.  The other is that sudo is installed on an NFS-mounted
    file system that is exported without root privileges.  By default, NFS
    file systems are exported with uid 0 mapped to a non-privileged uid
    (usually -2).
 
 You need to do something like
    `chmod 4111 /usr/local/bin/sudo'.  Also, the file system sudo resides     `chmod 4111 /usr/local/bin/sudo'.  Also, the file system sudo resides

   Q) When I try to use SSL-enabled LDAP with sudo I get an error:
       unable to initialize SSL cert and key db: security library: bad database.
       you must set TLS_CERT in /etc/ldap.conf to use SSL
   A) On systems that use a Mozilla-derived LDAP SDK there must be a
      certificate database in place to use SSL-encrypted LDAP connections.
      This file is usually /var/ldap/cert8.db or /etc/ldap/cert8.db.
      The actual number after "cert" will vary, depending on the version
      of the LDAP SDK that is being used.  If you do not have a certificate
      database you can either copy one from a mozilla-derived browser, such
      as firefox, or create one using the "certutil" command.  You can run
      "certutil" as follows and press the <return> (or <enter>) key at the
      password prompt:
       # certutil -N -d /var/ldap
       Enter a password which will be used to encrypt your keys.
       The password should be at least 8 characters long,
       and should contain at least one non-alphabetic character.
   
       Enter new password: <return>
       Re-enter password: <return>
   
   Q) When I run sudo on AIX I get the following error:
       setuidx(ID_EFFECTIVE|ID_REAL|ID_SAVED, ROOT_UID): Operation not permitted.
   A) AIX's Enhanced RBAC is preventing sudo from running.  To fix
      this, add the following entry to /etc/security/privcmds (adjust
      the path to sudo as needed) and run the setkst command as root:
   
       /usr/local/bin/sudo:
               accessauths = ALLOW_ALL
               innateprivs = PV_DAC_GID,PV_DAC_O,PV_DAC_R,PV_DAC_UID,PV_DAC_W,PV_DAC_X,PV_FS_CHOWN,PV_PROC_ENV,PV_PROC_PRIO,PV_PROC_RAC
               secflags = FSF_EPS
   
   Q) When I run configure I get the following error:
       dlopen present but libtool doesn't appear to support your platform.
   A) Libtool doesn't know how to support dynamic linking on the operating
      system you are building for.  If you are cross-compiling, you need to
      specify the operating system, not just the CPU type.  For example:
           --host powerpc-unknown-linux
      instead of just:
           --host powerpc
