sudo issue

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

is there a way to set up sudo, that it is able to copy everything, when
running a line such as

  sudo cp -rp /path/.foo /to/another/path/

?

My sudo is unable to do this:

[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ sudo ls -Ald /mnt/archlinux/.chuser/.home/.jwm*; echo $?
[sudo] password for weremouse: 
ls: cannot access '/mnt/archlinux/.chuser/.home/.jwm*': No such file or directory
2
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ sudo cp -rp /mnt/archlinux/.chuser/.home/.jwm* /tmp/; echo $?
cp: cannot stat '/mnt/archlinux/.chuser/.home/.jwm*': No such file or directory

[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ sudo -i
[root at moonstudio ~]# cp -rp /mnt/archlinux/.chuser/.home/.jwm* /tmp/; echo $? 
0
[root at moonstudio ~]# logout
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ su -c "ls -Ald /mnt/archlinux/.chuser/.home/.jwm*; echo $?"
