sudo is unable to perform commands for users with a slash in their name, such
as username/admin.  It will produce the following message:


sudo: unable to open /var/run/sudo/ts/username/admin: No such file or directory

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Sorry, try again.


My workaround is to create the directory /var/run/sudo/ts/username manually.
