Error :- sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?

We all as a Linux administrator must have come across this error sometime in our lives.

[user@host dir]$ sudo bash
sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?

This happens when sudo does not get the right access permissions.

The Solution for this error is giving the following permissions as root user

chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo

That Must Sort the issue for CentOS Kind of distros.

 

Safest and the least vulnerable way to add a user to the sudoers with full rights

visudo

demouser ALL=(ALL) PASSWD:ALL, !/bin/su root, !/bin/su -, !/bin/sudo su -, !/bin/su – root, !/bin/sudo su root, !/bin/su, !/usr/bin/passwd, !/usr/bin/passwd root, !/bin/vi /etc/sudoers, !/usr/bin/sudo vi /etc/sudoers, !/usr/sbin/visudo, !/usr/sbin/sudo visudo, !/bin/chmod 777 /etc/sudoers, !/bin/chmod ugo+rwx /etc/sudoers
