unable to sudo on webextra

Description

I have recently encountered this error:

warmerdam@webextra:/etc$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for warmerdam: 
sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, -1): Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/warmerdam/0: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to set supplementary group IDs: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Operation not permitted

I don't recall running into this before on an OSU OSL OSGeo VMs. I am in the groups file for sudoing. I am guessing this is somehow related to the recent upgrade/hardening.

A web search turned up the following that might be helpful:

Frank is this still an issue ? As I'm going to request sudo on that machine too...

In the meantime almost all machines (only "secure" wasn't, as far as I remember) have been converted to ldapd/nslcd, therefore this particular issue should be resolved.

Sudo works for me. Assuming resolved. Frank please reopen if you still have troubles.
