I have found sudo to be essential, but a PITA. (See first defn)
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=PITA&Find=Find&String=exact
The main problem I have with sudo is it's error checking. Basically
there is only one error message: syntax error. Missing punctuation?
Syntax error. Failed to define a symbol? Syntax error.
I've spent hours finding an error which would have been trivial
with a better error report. Granted, writing good error messages
is not trivial. But the author of sudo didn't even try.
Another complication is that if your sudo is configured to give
passwordless validation for 5 minutes after you have validated
once, it becomes hard to know if you have your configuration
working correctly.
In any case, here is a copy of my sudoers file.
# ========= Runas alias specification =========
Runas_Alias AS_ROOT=root
# ========= Cmnd alias specification =========
Cmnd_Alias UNRESTRICTEDCOMMAND=\
/usr/local/sbin/networklog,\
/usr/bin/apm --suspend,\
/usr/bin/updatedb
# ========= Defaults =========
Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn
# ========= User privilege specification =========
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
ALL ALL=(AS_ROOT) NOPASSWD: UNRESTRICTEDCOMMAND
This is not exactly what you asked for, but it should be
close. I have given unrestricted access to a few
commands. You may want to restrict such access to only
yourself.
And your current line
martin ALL = (ALL) ALL
is fine and would probably be used in place of my line
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
which I inherited from my Ubuntu install.
