OK, so I finally got a few minutes to play with the sudo wrappers.

I read the docs on the GPFS website, setup my gpfsadmin user and made it so 
that root can ssh as the gpfsadmin user to the host.

Except of course I’ve clearly misunderstood things, because when I do:

[myusername@bber-dssg02 bin]$ sudo /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmgetstate -a
[email protected]'s password: 
[email protected]'s password: 
[email protected]'s password: 
[email protected]'s password:

Now “myusername” is … my username, not “gpfsadmin”. What I really don’t want to 
do is permit root to ssh to all the hosts in the cluster as “myusername”. I 
kinda thought the username it sshes as would be configurable, but apparently 
not…

Annoyingly, I can do:
[myusername@bber-dssg02 bin]$ sudo SUDO_USER=gpfsadmin 
/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmgetstate -a

And that works fine… So is it possibly to set in a config file the user that 
the sudo wrapper works as?

(I get there are cases where you want to ssh as the original calling user)
