Please help me . I have been googling since 4 days and i'm not able to resolve this issue yet.

Thanks,

Finally solved this issue... pheww!!

[#3]

Wow! That must have been a tough one @Pankaj.1207. How did you resolve it?

[#4 · Accepted solution]

@cjervis this issues have been killing me big time. After so much of investigation i found out that we have to edit the file "10-perfmgmt" under "/etc/sudoers.d"( I am using rhel 5) by adding the below lines:-

root  ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%admin  ALL=(ALL) ALL

%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

userid   ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL

Note - userid is the id through which you are logging to your linux box

You have to login as "another user" by giving your id and password and yes you are done. It won't fail again with the error "Exhausted available......" . I mean that's what happened with me.

Give a try..

Thanks!

Happy to see it works. Hopefully it will help others who may run into the same issue. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi, i have the same problem, but cannot find the file "10-perfmgmt" on the "/etc/sudoers.d". Can you tell the steps to solve this?

thank you

[#7]

Done, used nano editor

[#8]

I could not find the file "10-perfmgmt" under "/etc/sudoers.d"

So created a new one and added lines below

root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

userid ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL

But i still could not figure it out..any help will be greatly appreciated

[#9]

You need to enter the "userid" through which you are logging in your linux box. You can try editing /etc/sudoers also with the above parameteres.

Thanks.
