If you don't post the command with the problem we can't help you. I don't
think that looks like a general sudo problem but a problem related to
your specific command.

Sorry, I missed the start of this thread. Please post the exact and
complete command line you are using to execute the script. My guess is
that you are redirecting standard output and/or standard input, and that
this is swallowing your password prompt and/or your password (probably
along with your redirected input).

Regards, K.

In rc.local put a new line in that is:

/root/./ham.sh

and try it. Also please send the actual whole rc.local file to us.

Bob,

Just a thought. You might want to have a look at your sudoers file and
see if either program is specifically mentioned. Then check to see what
your sudo permissions are (user and group). Sudo can grant a variety of
permissions based on who's calling it and what program they're trying to
run. Also there's a "time out" where if a user successfully calls sudo
then he won't be asked for his password again for any sudo session for
the next 15 minutes (default config).

Finally I'd look at the permissions of those programs to see what the
effective user and group IDs are when they actually run. Mostly just
from permissions paranoia.
