similar to: Allowing non-root users to reboot a workstation

That seems to have worked on my own test account - I applied it to the user having the issue and asked for his feedback when he gets a chance. Thanks!

We do have the elrepo drivers installed. Maybe part of the problem is also that we're using an IOgear KVM switch?

I'm having issues with a quad video card on CentOS. We have several systems on CentOS 6.8 and CentOS 6.9. The installed hardware is: Video card - Nvidia NVS quadro 440 PC - Dell OptiPlex 9020 Whenever you update the kernel, it kills the graphical interface. The system appears to lock up and freeze during a reboot, but you can still get into it with SSH, or, if you're at the console,

Did you try adding UserName ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot As the last line of their /etc/sudoers files? (replacing UserName with their actual user name, of course.) That should grant them root access to only the /sbin/reboot command (add more commands using comma delimiting). Then they just run $ sudo reboot If you want to require they enter their own password before rebooting, use the line

Hello, I would like to mirror the centos.org repository for an offline network. I don't need the ISO images, don't need any i386 stuff, and I think I probably don't need any of the source code rpms either. Most of the clients are CentOS 6.x, so I don't want to download the CentOS 7.x tree yet either (that will come soon, but separately from this one). I tried using this command,

Ok, that sounds a little more elegant. Does that delete switch delete those files after download, or does it stop it from downloading at all?

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' -

Hi all. New puppet developer. Very excited. I have the agents communicating with the puppet master. I''m wondering now about best practice for file and user permissions on the puppet master. Most of my wonder probably stems from general lack of understanding in this area. I''d like to get it right though to avoid refactoring later. 1. What''s the best practice, or your

Am using ldap samba If I try to rename a workstation, it asks for username and password. I'm logged in as root, I get access denied after I enter the name and password. Is there a way to fix this? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by RCRnet, and is believed to be clean.

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?
