comment 'sudo' not found in Turnkey linux Ubuntu install
I understand the thinking, thanks. As a long-time web app dev just learning linux (especially w/o a GUI), I need admin access to get my web stacks in place, but sometimes I also want to live life as a "normal" user, together more the TKL desktop security model. If I wasn't so new to linux, I would have immediately recognized what was going on and easily worked around it. As it was, I had no idea it was even possible to create a linux system w/o sudo, so I thought I was even more clueless than I actually am, or that the install was broken. Is this documented? I have to admit, I didn't RTFTKLM.

Daniel, the link in your last post appears to be the answer -- sudo actually isn't installed in that distro. If you make it a separate answer, I'll mark it so.

It's a vm created from the turnkey linux tomcat on apache appliance. Seems to me like sudo is so fundamental, it'd have to be there, regardless of the specifics of the vm.

(I was actually switching between sh and bash, just to make sure that wasn't relevant. Posted the sh results here as less verbose, but I'll just omit the prompt from here on out. And thanks to all for their assists!) From /usr/bin/, 'ls s*' doesn't show sudo, which I would take to mean it's not there. Could it be somewhere else, or is something busted or weird in this install?

I get -sh: sudo: not found. So I don't have sudo rights then?
