similar to: Sudo #includedir function ignored CentOS 6

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:~]

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

Hello! I want to use "asterisk -rx "show version"" from a php script called in the browser using the local apache, which runs as user "apache". Asterisk is running as root. I added the following line to /etc/sudoers using visudo: apache ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/asterisk When i am on the command line of my linux box it looks like this:

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

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:

Dear All I am trying to allow a local user on the centos machine to be able to run yum What I have done is added him to the wheel group so that he can run software, basically it's his own machine if he breaks it it's his problem But even after adding him to wheel, sys and adm group he is unable to install using yum I am sure I must be missing something or I must be doing

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

Thanks for the responses. I think this is what I want to do. I commented out #Defaults requiretty in /etc/sudo. But what I really wanted to do was just place it in VPNUSERS: %vpnusers ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/service myciscovpn start, \ /sbin/service myciscovpn stop, \ /sbin/service myciscovpn status, \ /usr/bin/mycisco,

hello list, I've been asked to give someone sudo rights across an entire environment without the benefit of something like puppet or chef or cfengine et al. What I've come up with so far is this: ssh -t miaprbicsra04v sudo -S /bin/echo "rsherman ALL=\(ALL\) NOPASSWD: /sbin/service /bin/rm /usr/bin/du /bin/df" >> sudo tee /etc/sudoers Right now that's just to one

Hi guys, I'm using RedHat and am trying to configure my sudo to enable user 'testuser' to run Asterisk. However whenever I try to run 'sudo asterisk' as 'testuser' I get prompted for password. This is the line in my sudoers configuration file that I thought should do the trick, but it doesn't: testuser ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/asterisk Does anyone know how to

I had a recent request to improve security on my web servers by having each website use a different user to run the hosting service. So example1.comhas it's own Apache instance running as apache1 and then example2.com has its own instance of Apache as apache2. Is this even possible or realistic? I understand the idea of how that would be secure, much like creating a virtual machine to

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

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 => [

I have decided to migrate my latest KVM server to CentOS 6.0 and am beginning to get a little frustrated with some issues that worked perfectly in 5.6. Right now I've given up on getting virbr0 and NAT to work, but now I need networking bridging to work, but nothing seems to fix the issue. I have not had much experience with troubleshooting KVM so could really use some pointers on resolving

I added via visudo my userid for authorization of me ALL(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL and I still cannot run yum as me. Is this just not possible?

Over the years many shops have come to start running puppet via cron to address memory leaks in earlier versions of Ruby, but the official position was that puppet was meant to be run as a continually running service. I am wondering if the official position has changed. On one hand many if not all of the early Ruby issues have been fixed, on the other, the addition of mcollective into the mix as

Hi, I have set up asterisk to run as non root, and allow admin users to log in to the server as asterisk, which gives them privileges to edit configs in the asterisk home directory. As for connecting to the console with 'asterisk -r' - this by default does not work as asterisk is owned stored in /usr/sbin/asterisk I am reading that the best way to solve this is to use 'visudo' -
