I have a user that is allowed to login to a shell script and use it to bring
the DSL connection up/down.
I am using sudo to allow him to run adsl-start, which he does by selecting
an item on a menu which runs:
sudo /usr/sbin/adsl-start
This is the contents of the sudoers file:
# sudoers file.
admin ALL = /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, \
/usr/sbin/adsl-start, /usr/sbin/adsl-stop
Everything works according to plan; adsl-start calls adsl-connect and
adsl-connect calls ppp and pppoe. After the connection is made, adsl-start
exits and adsl-connect is supposed to hang around and reconnect if the
connection drops.
The problem is that when the user logs off, although ppp and pppoe stay
running, adsl-connect dies with the session.
This doesn't happen if I log on as root and run adsl-start and log off.
Is this just a problem with using sudo, or is there perhaps some
configuration that I've missed?
