I need to be able to exec a command as sudo (ex: sudo echo 'toto') in a custom go program. I've added my user in /etc/sudoers and it works just fine when I log as my user and run the program manually.



However, when I run the exact same program from a systemd service, I get the following error:



sudo: unable to change to root gid: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin


My service is basic:



[Unit]
Description=test sudo

[Service]
User=test
Group=test
ExecStart=/etc/test/test


and in my /etc/sudoers:



test        ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL


What's the difference between manually running the program as my user versus the same program started as a service?
