Default sudo: must be setuid root
When I try to 'sudo -s' I get this error:

Code:
sudo: must be setuid root
What does that mean? Why can't I sudo -s like my other accounts?

What are the permissions on your sudo file (/usr/sbin/sudo)?

You need to run this command on /usr/sbin/sudo

Code:
chmod 4111 /usr/bin/sudo
