The vmm package creates the group `vmm'. So you can add system users to
the vmm group.
Create a file, e.g. `vmm_sudoers'
,--[ vmm_sudoers ]--
| # vim: ft=sudoers
| Cmnd_Alias VMM_CMD = /usr/sbin/vmm
| %vmm ALL = NOPASSWD: VMM_CMD
`--
Admins who want to allow the usage of vmm for members of the vmm group
can execute:
install -m 440 vmm_sudoers /etc/sudoers.d
Members of the group vmm will be able to execute vmm commands, e.g.:
sudo vmm ld
Lazy users can create an alias:
alias vmm='sudo /usr/sbin/vmm'
The vmm package then should suggest the sudo package.
