I have a user (say xyz) who is part of the admin and adm group and sudo group.

I can use Sudo when on the server but when I log into the fat clients connected to the server sudo password doesn't accept.

Where am I going wrong. What can I do to use sudo on the Fat Clients.

for example On Server this works but on Fat Clients it doesn't

sudo crontab -l
[sudo] password for xyz:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for xyz:

When I log into the Fat Client as root it works fine, but if I log in as Administrator it doesn't accept sudo password in terminal or any application that requires sudo access.

I have worked around the problem by chrooting from the server but my question is why doesn't it work on the Fat Client although logged in as Administrator.

Thanks
