[opensuse] Problem with sudoers
Hi there, I have the line "sudo /etc/do_sth.sh" in /etc/bash.basrc.local Additionally i added the line ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/do_sth.sh to sudoers (using visodu). Still, either when opening a terminal or typing "sudo /etc/do_sth.sh", I am prompted for root's password. Is the idea of NOPASSWD not to prompt for password? Or is there a prblem with the combination of sudoers and bash.bashrc.local? --Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Incorrect syntax. The parameter after the = is incorrect, there is one missing. See the samples. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

From the sudoers man pages: ray rushmore = NOPASSWD: /bin/kill, /bin/ls, /usr/bin/lprm correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the parameter after the = in parentheses is optional and "root" is default. --Stephan Carlos E. R. schrieb:

But there is a space in there. The parentesis doesn't mean it is optional, you have to write the parentesis - from the sample file: # Same thing without a password # %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL I find that man page very dificult to understand. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I find that man page very dificult to understand.
I suspect man pages are meant to be reminders to those who already know what they're doing. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, specially the sudo page, it is almost cryptic :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It is unfortunate that many programmers lack communication skills necessary to provide meaningful documentation to mere mortals.

Yes. I've worked with a lot of scientists and engineers and doctors of medicine over a lot of years. I've also written for three different Linux magazines for the last eight years. Most times these people could communicate their ideas and produce a presentation to back it up along with easy to use and understand documentation. Not so when I deal with some programmers in any country in the world. I don't know why the IT business attracts so many people who lack communication skills. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What I do, is create a directory that contains links to stuff I want to run without root password. In /etc/sudoers, I have this: jknott ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/sudo/* It works well, though I haven't tried using it with "ALL", instead of my ID. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
