Hello Everyone, I am trying to change our /etc/sudoers (using visudo) to allow 2 commands to be run as root without a password, but it isn't working. Here is the part of the sudoers file that is in question. # User alias specification User_Alias FULLACCESS = doug, scott # members of the FULLACCESS User_Alias may run chown and chmod without a password FULLACCESS ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:

I've got a Cento 6.2 server I'm putting together that will become a mailserver. It will have on it MailScanner and MailWatch for MailScanner. I'm using the latest stuff available and have run into a problem with changes I need to make in the /etc/sudoers file. It doesn't seem to take affect after I make the changes, so either the syntax within the file has changed or the way

I am running CentOS 4 and have the need to run "mount -t cifs ..." from within a perl or bash script as part of an application. The application does not run as root. I have been trying to do a chmod +s on a root owned script but that doesn't seem to work. I still get permission errors. I also took a look at sudo but that appears to require a user to periodically enter a password.

Hello list, I took another stab at finding a way to add a sudo user remotely and it gets you most of the way there. If you execute the script as root it works beautifully and does just what you want. Which is add the user to the group and gives that user group rights to certain commands. But if you execute it as a user who only has sudo access to the /etc/sudoers file it errors out. cloud:~]

so I have this sudo module that I''ve been working on: class auth::sudo { package { sudo: ensure => installed } file { sudo_config: name => "/tmp/sudoers", owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 0440, notify => Exec["sudoers-syntax"], source => [

Hey Gordon, Sorry, man my bad! Disabling the tty requirement for my sudo user does indeed work. I had a type-o in the sudoers file, and when I corrected it, my sudo command via pssh started working! #pssh -i -h es_list "/bin/sudo /bin/systemctl restart elasticsearch; sleep 10" [1] 20:31:32 [SUCCESS] bluethundr at es3.jokefire.com Stderr: sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

I am unable to get the #includedir function to work with sudo. This works just fine on all my CentOS 5.6 servers, but on 6 it is being ignored. I have this line in the file /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet zabbix ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/lib/zabbix/bin/start_puppet However sudo still requires a password. If I put that same line into /etc/sudoers file , there is no password prompt. At the end of my

I took your suggestion and turned my (ill advised) sudoers bash script into an expect script! It works a lot better this way and is more secure. Because I'm not trying to store a password in a script (which I recognize as a bad idea anyway, I I think I've learned my lesson here). It really works well. But the only thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to put a if statement in

My experience with RHEL and CentOS is quite limited, andwould classify me as novice.? I have been running CentOS 6for a little over a year and recently brought up a CentOS 7system as a virtual machine under Windows 7. One of the first things I usually do after installation isedit the /etc/sudoers file using visudo to give a specificuser or specific users privileges as indicated in the fileexcerpt

The instructions use the character O or is it 0, you cannot tell by looking at the screen or a printout. Another ambiguity is the command (s?): sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.......... /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list Is this one long command continued on two lines, or is it two commands? I am not in the sudo list on my stock debian/etch installation, and do not wish to take three
