Logcheck users - Dec 2008 - cannot run logcheck

Hello, list!

I can't run logcheck. This is the first time my system has not let me run
something, any way I try.

I am member of sudo group. I run this

sudo -u logcheck logcheck -o -t

and get

Sorry, user [user] is not allowed to execute '/usr/sbin/logcheck -o -t'
as
logcheck on [machine].


If I try

su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/logcheck -o -t" logcheck

I get authentication failure, whether I type my user password, or the root
password. What password does it want!?

It won't run as root, and if I run it as regular user it does nothing.

Also, I can't find the search page for the archives of this mailing list.
Are the archives searchable at all?

Thank you for your help.

you have misconfigured your sudoers file.

it wants the password of the user `logcheck'
