similar to: running yum from userid

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

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 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:

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' -

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:~]

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 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

A colleague supplied me with a set of rpms he built on his Fedora box and when I tried to install them with yum localinstall I got a missing dependency: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package hipl-doc.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated ---> Package hipl-tools.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 for package:

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'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

Can you do this? I have not found the options to get this to happen. So far I have seen how to read the Audio CD and make a directory of WAV files with a control file for later burning to CD, but I want an iso image that I can archive and burn audio CDs to use as they get used up.

Well I am working on building a kernel that will have the IPsec BEET mode patch available from infrahip.hiit.fi. I have some decent help, but really no one there is a seasoned Centos kernel builder (though they work with different FC kernels), and now they are mostly done for the day. I have been following the wiki on building a custom kernel, got my patch in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and away with

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 need/desire to set up a userID for an SSH tunnel, but not allow said user to have a login to the server. For the user to set up the tunnel with: ssh -p 1234 -L 8080:192.168.1.4:80 george at gateway.foo.com Where george would use a password instead of a stored SSH key, could george be created with: useradd -s /sbin/nologin -c "George" george passwd george thanks

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

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

You would think installing via yum would handle dependencies, but perhaps fonts are not managed like dependencies..... Anyway, I installed tightvnc to test out its IPv6 support. Installed ok (after I erased regular vnc). But when I tried to start it, I got 5 warnings about: Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc' not found - ignoring (then the same message for Speedo, Type1,

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'm trying to setup a simple NFSv4 mount between two x86_64 hosts. On the server, I have this in /etc/exports: /export $CLIENT(ro,fsid=0) /export/qb3 $CLIENT(rw,nohide) ON $CLIENT, I mount via: mount -t nfs4 $SERVER:/qb3 /usr/local/sge62/qb3 However: $ touch /usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo touch: cannot touch `/usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo': Read-only file system I'd really

I tried to use tightvnc back in August and had some help, but I stopped due to IPv6 support. Now I am back at tightvnc and cannot get the server started. This is on a new Centos install that did have regular vncserver working on it (I did a yum erase vnc-server first). So I have a working /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and my user has the appropriate ~/.vnc files that worked with regular vnc.
