Example: joeuser ALL = NOPASSWD: /your/command/here Remember to edit the file with visudo, which will warn you in case you make a syntax error. Thanks! That works. -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] confused about suid
I am trying to create a script so users can execute a certain command as root without entering a password. I thought suid was the way to do this, but I am not having any success. The command I want to execute as root is echo -n mem /sys/power/status. I created a bash script (/usr/local/bin/suspendtoram) like so: #!/bin/bash echo -n mem /sys/power/status then set owner and group to root:root and made the script suid. However this doesn't work. The error message goes: /usr/local/bin/suspendtoram: line 2: /sys/power/state: Permission denied I am still having to sudo echo -n mem /sys/power/status and then to enter a password. What am I doing wrong? thanks Robert -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
