I have got no error messasges either. I simply got nothing but a beep for
time I press TAB, no matter what I am trying to sudo.

It is like sudo prevents the eminent autocomplete for commands.

I can start the command (without the sudo), let's say: $ vim
/etc/rc.local

Then, if I do want to be able to edit this, I need to press <HOME> and type
the sudo so I finally get: $ sudo vim /etc/rc.local

Starting with sudo I cannot TAB my way into autocompletion: $ sudo v<TAB> I
got a beep; $ sudo vi<TAB> another beep; $ sudo vim /et<TAB> got me a $ sudo
vim /etc/, then a final $ sudo vim /etc/rc.l<TAB> got me the full command $
sudo vim /etc/rc.local

It seems as it wont prevent full path names of parameters or full path names
to commands.

Another good example: $ sudo /et<TAB> got to $ sudo /etc/ .. then $ sudo
/etc/in<TAB> and it asked me to choose beetwen inetd.conf; init.d/;
initramfs-tools/; or inputrc. If I keep righting to $ sudo
/etc/init.d/net<TAB> it wen all the way to $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking

:-/ sorry if it seems confusing, cause it really is.
