Hi. I have a user that I want to limit to only running a couple of commands ... As in here user just copy and paste where needed , sorry thats all your allowed to do ... but thus far I can't get the syntax correct for the sudoers file line 115| greg ALL = /bin/chmod -R o+rx /opt line 116| greg ALL = /bin/chmod -R ug+rwx /opt line 117| greg ALL = /bin/chown -R root:root /opt line 118| greg ALL = /usr/bin/setfact -R -m u:greg.reeve:rwx /opt line 119| greg ALL = /usr/bin/setfact -d -R -m u:greg.reeve:rwx /opt visudo gives me the following :>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 116 <<< >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 117 <<< >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 118 <<<what am I missing ? thanks G
